I'm going to an event on March 15 here in Texas where they are having 4 dyno's running all day free of charge. I've got I/H/E with about 2k miles on the headers and about 5 or 6 on the I/E. I'll post up the dyno when I get it done.

 

What event? You're in Houston right? I just had my PPE installed (on my 250), would like to see what I have now (fujita intake, ppe headers, JoeZ racing exhaust with PPE high flow cats inserted). sure is fun to drive now! Too bad it'll never be a 350 tho... Haha

 

^ Its Tx2k12 here off of I10 west

Hi everyone!

Sorry for reviving this thread... I just wanted the Club Lexus community to give me their feedback about the PPE headers... I'm not looking for too loud. My exhaust is not very loud, and I will be installing the JoeZ intake which is the least loud. Now if I additionally put in the PPE headers only, will it become as loud as this video clip?(below)
Because I would not want that...
I want to keep a strong(low pitch) and subtle sound but not too loud or exaggerated. That's just my taste

i have the same headers, i think if you paid it with an exhuast and intake
it will notiecablyy be loud

 

I just got my PPE headers installed this weekend. I have the Greddy EVO3 exhaust and can't be more pleased with the performance and sound! Get the PPE headers!

 

sounds like a crazy combo. i heard the evo3 alone and its crazy loud, cant imagine it paired with the headers
post a video / sound clip?

 

Sounds like a beast especially when I spray it at WOT!

 

16whp just do it

 

$850 parts $700ish labor, thats not including cats if you're going to get them. $1500-1700
for a purr like uve never heard, its hard to spend , but sounds hella sexy

 

Although I have a IS-F I thought I would chime in. I just had PPE install a set of headers on my F. I was running a full Borla Exhaust with stock manifolds. Now that I am now running the headers with test pipes it is louder but sounds amazing at WOT not to mention an additional 40 hp is nice. Adding the HFCs will tone it down a tad.

As a side note the Guys at PPE are amazing and are true car enthusiasts. They are, professional, courteous and design and sell high quality products. I highly recommend them.

i really dont want cats because i love the way it sounds, i dont want the sound to be altered, but the car smells so damn toxic its insane. even after 1 year break in, it still small horrific, i dont mind the smell, but if i get pulled over for anything, the cop will know for sure i have no cats, heard the fine can be very hefty
what kind of cats did you get it? where di you order from? it didnt mess with your wiring or anything? i dont want any dash lights coming on lol

 

I had test pipes and HFCs with v band flanges fabricated. I can run either the test pipes or cats. I purchased the High flow cats from PPE. They are the same ones you would get for your 350. They are Magna Flow 200 cell 4" metal core cats. I have not put them on yet but (still wanting to experience the full effect of the headers), there are many members here that use the HFCs that PPE carries and have not had any issues. You will loose a few ponies but loose the gas smell. As for the CEL lights. The headers come with O2 modules so you will not have to worry about CELs. Paul at PPE is a great guy and if you shoot him an email (just email the address on his website) with your questions he should be able to address any concerns or questions you have.
