LOL, "the way" is known, I just didn't realize that the CEL wouldn't show up for a couple hundred miles.

Karma's a b--tch.

My dashboard lit up like a xmas tree this morning - Check engine, check VSC, etc.

Guess I'd better apply the midpipe mod...

Just ordered these headers for my 250 hopefully will get here in a few days and wont take me long to install.

Have the F Sport exhaust and intake, be curious to see what it sounds like after headers.

They don't help much from a stand still, mostly at speeds of 40-80ish, makes it a lot smoother. They're fun paired with a full exhaust like JoeZ, and with my supercharger

Is there AWD version? If so, how much and as well would it be good without a midpipe (since none for AWD)??

Really looking forward to this...

I have AWD headers from Mazzuri and have seen pictures of the IS350 headers from PPE.

I highly doubt that the 2WD IS250 headers will work on an AWD as the front drive axle will be very close or actually contacting the header tube.

Was your Mazzuri headers in production or custom? Did you dyno the gain?

Thanks I just checked it out, decent price for the gain (considering axlebacks cost around the same for less gain)

But usually how much for install? Seems like it's much more difficult than exhaust
