Default PPE Headers on IS250
just got my car back from PPE. They fitted my IS 250 with their new ceramic coated headers.

Great gains. I believe it was something like 18 hp to the rear. Paul is going to be sending my the dyno and ill see about throwing on here. Great company guys and gals, worth the money if you look at cost to HP gains.

thanks paul and fellow employees- this is one very well run business, you'd be crazy to do business anywhere else.

So DONT be crazy.

Regardless of the cost, the product is well made and there's nothing out there for performance, I'd honestly jump on whatever is out there.

Cool mod.

Post any gains and 1/4 times that you get for all to see & ponder.

What is your CAT configuration? Do you have any at all now? It must be nice and loud with headers, midpipe and tanabe.

^^^^^ Hit the nail on the head. The car sounds great and feels great. For pricing you will have to contact PPE. I am not an employee and I am not sure what deal he is putting together for everyone.

As far as cats. I was shooting straight invidia. But PPE has high flow cats that make the car sound great. It was to loud with just the invidia mid so i recommend either keep you stock mid or getting the high flow cats.

Here is the dyno. Peak power gains are between 17 and 18whp (the dyno just rounded down). This was also done at ADS in Chandler, AZ. Same dyno as the IS350 dyno we did.

^ +1.

on a related note, that's about 220-something hp at the flywheel, based on a 14% drivetrain loss... no?

if so, that's impressive.
