I'm going to be running PPE Headers and stock exhaust for a bit while I wait for my exhaust.
Get in on the group buy while you can. Like lowrideraz said it's going to get you the highest gain and exhaust is always a quick install down the road.

 

I hear ya The JoeZ was just too loud for me and had noticeable drone, so I modified my stock exhaust system here:

Most of the members who have the JoeZ or other after market systems are pleased with them. I have not heard or seen the Borla, but it's been reported to be more tolerable than the JoeZ. However, I have not been impressed with Borla's quality in the past, maybe it's improved.

No BS here, the JoeZ exhaust paired with headers sounds amazing. You won't find a better sound on this car than with that combination, but as some do daily the car and would prefer a more tolerable exhaust tone without losing any power, the Borla exhaust is great alternative! Zero quality issues with it on the IS-F.

 

It sounds so beast Blitz. Congrats bro...

 

No drone at all sir, maybe for senior citizen it is loud .

i'm too agree with you joez e/i and sikky header are great combo..
thank you sir. me and amgon75 might do the calibers soon. Same colors combo eheheh .

 

I use to have the HKS exhuast on my IS250 and it was way to loud for me. Im thinking of getting both the headers and JoeZ exhaust. I will get the headers for now. I will wait till I hear Blitz714 set up maybe ill be sold on the exhuast.

 

I should have no problem passing smog? If I just put headers and stock exhuast. I know CA is having a new kind of smog check soon. All the current smog check will be obselete.

 

^ with the headers install you'll be removing 2 cats, which i beleive will cause it to fail the sniffer test. But if it did pass the sniffer test for some reason, you will fail the visual for sure.

 

How much HP for headers alone or just exhast. I havent work on cars for 5 years. Thats why I was driving a Lexus IS250, but also been missing out in alll the fun. Thats why I got the ISF. I usually do all the work for my car, but I dont think ill be able to do the headers. Just the exhuast.

 

U wont pass smog but u can bring to someone you know , header alone about 35 -40rwhp.

 

Is there any group buy for the Joe Z PTS exhaust? Where did you get your exhaust and for how much?

 

Call carson toyota part and speak to Luis, and tell him u r from clublexus. he'll will do 1599$ no tax sir pick up
310-522-2300.

 

Thanks! So 1600 for exhuast, 1300 for headers, and 140 for intake should give me 400WHP. looks like its worth every penny. Im just not a 100% in yet on how loud its gonna be. As long as I still have my IS250 for DD I should be ok. But my fiance want me to get rid of it. She said theres no sense in having two of the same car. lol.

 

Uh , get rid of the 250, anytime u want to meet up to hear my set up , u r welcome too, i'm in Oc, u r in huntington beach :P local .

 

I flew to Ohio today for work wont be back until the 25th. My cousin is picking up the 250 by the end of the month so my ISF is the new DD. I'll hit you up when I get back.
