Default Header install Tucson/Phoenix area

Good Morning,

Currently have an intake/Joe Z exhaust installed, and will now be purchasing headers. Currently deployed, so am now stockpiling parts for install for when I return. Can anyone recommend any shops/Lexus dealerships that can do the install? Still have not made my mind up on Sikky or PPE, and have read quite a bit of info on both on this site. Thanks in advance.

For Tucson, my recommendation is about 10 years old, but when I lived there I had a G35 and used Apex R Motorsports on Speedway. Among other things they installed a set of headers for me. I was happy with them, but looking at some posts from a Google search, there are some unhappy folks. But, they treated me well.

For Phoenix, PPE may be able to squeeze you in, they, of course are experts in installing their own product.

Id make the drive to PPE as well. Nobody knows more about the product than they do.

Just take a drive up to Tempe, go play at the Arizona Grand Resort and have Paul at PPE Engineering install them. That is what I did and could not be happier. The drive back to Tucson is Awesome!!!!!!!

I used to frequent APEX-R on Speedway too back around 2001. They always helped me out and they did good work on my Acura Integra GS-R back then. Not sure if they are still around or not.

I don't think apex-r is around at this point, but there are a couple of good shops in Tucson. I actually moved down here recently and just bought an ISF today - glad to hear there are more around!

i would say take the drive to ppe since they are the experts as well as manufacture of those amazing headers, imagine the drive back with new headers installed
