Looks nice bro. Did you ask me about the double gasket? I had a few guys ask me. Also did you double up on the torque specs? And if you can, get some heat shrink on those connectors, water gets in there, even moisture, in the future will cause your wires to get corrosion and high resistance will give you a wirig nightmare.

Welcome to the sikky fam, im waiting on a lil bit of change to come in and going out with a bang with the nitrous setup

The o2 sensor simulator is a tap in wires . The purpose is to trick the ecu that ur primary sensors are there but relocated else where . I used eom and Sikky gaskets to double up and tighten all spect and ran about 200 miles came back to tighten those gaskets again . The Sikky provides the dipstick but still not fit had to did modified bended. And please Sikky up date those pictures are all wrong but the instruction is right. Seen my pic. One thing I know for certain that Sikky header keeps the engine cooler then stock . We ran canyon today 3 Isf same 100 milages . My hood was much cooler than the other 2 . Believe it or not and the power is there . Stock tires are not up to the task . Wider tires will needed in the rear. Will most more videos later.

For our socal ISF owners , will be special pricing 700$ complete installed and when it done please dont leave just yet. Just drive around like 50 to 100 miles for it get warm up come back to shop lift up and double check and torque those screws a few more time for tighten gasket between the header and exhaust.... oh yeah and no need to buy o2 sensors. Exactly what i thought it would be lolz.

I most likely will be coming down there depending on how other IS F installs go. Definitely would like a more local shop in the OC but SD works to.

Witch one is better? getting a headers and Joe Z intake or Joe Z PTS exhaust and intake? I want more HP for the money. I really dont want it to be loud. Maybe just a little louder than stock. Witch one would give me the most HP?

^^^^If you can only do one, the PPE headers would yield the best most gains. Exhaust Number two. Intake, not so much.
