have the money waiting for the dyno #s for the headers for the 250.
Would like to get these installed before autox season starts. every bit of power for the 250 is a must.

The dyno chart for the IS250 is on the 1st page of this thread. There was a 17-18whp gain on IS250.

We are just about ready to start making them. Just gotta get caught up on previous orders.

Sounds really good. Did you pick up any power over the other dual exhaust you had setup? Final numbers?

Thanks!! The car "feels" faster with the new exhaust (old exhaust was 2.25" and PPE's is 2.5"). However, I haven't dynoed again because I have been doing other stuff and I wanted to wait til I was done with the car. I recently got a clearbra installed and got the car de-badged from the body shop. It looks SOOOO much better without the "Lexus" and "IS 350". They filled the holes and everything so you can't even tell they were there. I also got every scratch and knick buffed out and fixed. PPE has my car for the next three days while they complete the finishing touches on the exhaust and get all measurements completed for public production. As soon as I have the car back and it is ready to go I will be dynoing it again so see how close I can get to 300rwhp .

I'll be posting pics and videos and a dyno sheet (once completed) very soon.

Very nice. If you can get close to 300 to the wheels, I'd consider doing the same thing to my 350 down the road...

Another interesting development is that I have no CEL with my PPE headers even though I haven't applied the O2 sensor extension "fix". Only been driving it for about two weeks, though - hopefully it stays gone so I don't have to worry about doing any midpipe welding.

Not many. The IS isn't my daily driver, so probably less than 75 in a two week period.

lol at that rate you may not see a CEL for months! I think mine finally came on after a couple hundred or so.. But if yours never comes on then that's awesome!
