Default Headers

Hey guys Im a new owner of a 2009 is-f. I came from an 08 e63 and absolutely love the drive in my lexus way more! However I need more power, I'm looking for a shop in SoCal that I can purchase and install some PPE/SIKKY headers and PTS exhaust. Ready to make a move on it today! Any feedback is greatly appreciated, thanks!

As for installation for the header , our friend a great mechanic in SD had installed 5 headers now on the F. I'm going down there tomorrow after work to install my 2010 LSD.

I have both ppe and sikky , for us socal here, we love joez exhaust and intake and it pair better sounds and performance with sikky. I seen and heard ppe and joez does not sound that good as my set up . Any members seen and heard of my set up Sikky +Joez E/Intake or test drive my car will tell u that the best combos even the creator Joez have to agreed :P . On a side note , tonight a few of F members going to get together so if u r free let me know we can meet up see and test for yourself

You can't go wrong with either the PPE or the Sikky. About the same gains too. I would also go to the person in SD. Cheaper prices with high quality work. PM Blitz for more info.
