Default Ordered PPE Headers today

I ordered a set of PPE headers today! My Nitrous kit is in the shop waiting to be installed with the headers all at once.

I will be running = Takeda Intake, ISS Forged DES Exhaust, PPE Headers with a 150 shot of Nitrous.

I live in Alberta Canada and my last run at the track I didn't have favorable conditions, my density altitude calculator gave me an altitude of 4500 ft!!!

How much HP do you guys think I will manage (when I dyno) and what kind of 1/4 mile time do you think I can manage?

My best time last year was 13.03 @ 112mph. That was with the Takeda Intake and ISS Forged Exhaust, DA = to 4500 ft. Calculator told me it would of been a 12.56 in perfect conditions.

Congrats. Sounds like a solid set up. Id say you'd in the 500 HP club with all of that. Just makes sure the install is done right. The headers and exhaust can trigger CEL if not installed the right way

I have the only proper performance shop in town doing it, it should be done right.

Too bad you missed the set of PPE headers that was on Kijiji in Edmonton.. would have saved you at least 20%!

Congrats. I run the ISS DES and PPE combo too and it's such a beautiful note above 3K RPM. Parking garages are my favorite though, car is ridiculous loud.

Have fun.

Excellent choice, PPE makes a high quality header. Get it installed properly and make sure to route the o2 sensors and extensions away from the headers to avoid issues down the road

I'm actually in Lethbridge but if anyone in Alberta is ever interested in hearing the set up, just let me know... I race in Medicine Hat all the time on their Friday night fun nights as well.

Congrats! I had PPE headers installed a few weeks ago and combined with my Borla exhaust the sound is perfect IMO.
