Well hello there! And here I thought I was the only one from Lethbridge on these forums. I currently live in Calgary, but next time I come down I'll have to take a look at your car!

I am also planning on installing PPE headers in the near future. First, I need to buy an exhaust.

HEY!!! I have never seen any other ISF in Lethbridge. I have always told everyone that mine is the only one south of Calgary... Did you have your ISF here at one point? I never saw it.... I put my ISF in the Street Wheelers show every July. You should come down and see it then or meet up with me in medicine hat for some racing some time.

You should be in the 11s running that much nitrous.

The car just went in the shop this morning!!! PPE Headers Ceramic Black Coated and 150 shot of Nitrous with a progressive controller to be installed. I will also have a window switch installed but its not here yet so that will be another month or so away! I also have them installing a line lock so I can do my burnouts with ease!

Nice, you'll love the sound. I just got my car back yesterday. Installed PPE headers with the black ceramic coating. The car definitely sounds more throaty even on light throttle depression. Only crappy part is the smell, but that's it.

Just imagine the idling at a Starbucks or fast food drive thru....had an SL550 roadster rev at me from behind because he hated the smell so much. I could hear the obscenities from him- our cars are pretty quiet at idle, I might add. Not my fault he got caught behind me. But to repay him for his cordial nature, I revved right back at him after my girl and I got our drinks. He didn't seem too happy with smoke catching his face.

Anyone do the PPE exhaust along with the headers? It seems most go with Joe z. I know that is a quality system, but after seeing the quality of the headers, the PPE exhaust must be just as good.

I'm also interested in your nitrous setup.

I'm going to go direct port. Been waiting to install it, but had to make sure the ELF was fixed first. They called me to schedule to drop her off at the dealer on monday.

I'll probably only do a 150 shot at most. Are you staying with a single wet nozzle?
