I got the PPE headers end of June but due to holidays I could not get them installed at that time. The qualified mechanics at my Lexus dealer was only available this week.



The headers oooh shiny



After nearly 2 monthes wait I finally got the headers installed at the dealer on Wednesday and I got the car back on Thursday. Everything went smoothly for the installation, it took them about 7 hours to complete.
I can't believe how much it changes the car. It pulls much harder, it feels almost as if the normal mode is now what used to be the sport mode and the noise !!! It is now a very deep and raspy sound, I love it

I did a quick video of the startup but my phone mic did not do it justice. I will try to make another one while driving

when is the dyno????

 

dam just saw the video joe posted. looking good from France!

 

That start up sounds crazy. Sounds like a monster wants to get outta the engine

 

Congrats. No matter what company you go with, headers should be very high priority on the F mod list.

 

Sounds great! Your RT cats will melt/fail soon with your new setup.

 

Sounds great from a startup. Is it much louder in person? I, too, am looking forward to the fly by!

 

Sounds good like I would imagine.

 

Music to my ears

 

Thanks guys

@Rider, the dyno should be in 2 weeks
@stick I am aware of this possibility, time will tell
@bnizzle87 it is definately louder than the JoeZ alone from the outside, I don't know if the RT cats make so much of a difference. With the standard exhaust it may not be that different. From the inside, the exhaust sound has changed as well, it is more present at low speed but I can not really say it is much louder from a dB point of view.
@JoeZ I will try to make a fly-by and inside video shortly
@Lou thanks for your help you are the one that made me choose the PPE over Sikky

 

sounds really good. can't wait to have headers someday to go with my Joe Z exhaust.

 

They sound great I am waiting for the drivers side replacement before I install mine? Quick question did you receive the replacement header as well? Also how is the noise in the cabin compared to just the Joe Z exhaust?

 

Aw, you made my face red Seriously though, IMHO you made the right choice PPE makes great products.
