Default My PPE header install sound clips!

Here is a quick video I put together. Did the install yesterday. A former Lexus tech did it at his house in 4 1/2 hours on jack stands! Running No cats, JoeZ exhaust, JoeZ intake.

Amazing sound! The no cats issue is what is keeping me from getting the PPEs right now. But it's hard to deny the beastly sound of the F with an exhaust and headers. Any issues with the install?

No issues with the install. It sure does help knowing a Lexus tech.. He had the subframe dropped in 30 min. Took hime 4 1/2 hours total. I have a bad rattle under my right passenger seat.. Even though we bent the heat shied back like the instructions said, It sounds like the heat shield is still hitting the header every now and then.. I'll bring a rubber hammer to it sometime tomorrow.

It does sound beastly. Still sounds so much better in person as you already know. Hoping I can get some drive by video up later this week.
