Anyone with just PPE headers?
Is anyone running the PPE headers alone, without aftermarket exhaust?
1. Are you catted or catless? (primary cats)
2. How loud is the car?
3. How does the butt dyno feel?
Considering a bump in power here. (damn, that only took 2.5 years)

There were a few people running PPE headers on a stock system because they wanted the power but not the loudness. Without an exhaust, people usually go headers with cats becasue they don't want the gas smell or the loudness. The headers makes the car a tad bit louder, noticeable but not insanely loud. You will definetly feel it on the butt dyno.

I am waiting on the exhaust, so I have been running PPE headers only for about a month. No primary cats. Car is loud on a cold start but idles back down and mellows out. Just slightly louder overall when driving, but has a deeper tone. You can def feel the power added.

Any other observations you care to share?

Even with no cats the smell is not bad at all. With high flow cats you would get nothing, but would be robbing some power. I wanted all the power I can get which is why I went Catless. The workmanship on these headers is amazing and the gains are great. I would not hesitate to get them, you will certainly not be disappointed!

I always go windows down and don't notice the smell at all. Only at idle from behind the car will you notice it, and only slightly at that. I had the install done by a very talented tech at Lexus of Edison in NJ. No issues and no lights at all.
