I was thinking about getting a tannabe exhaust as well but im having mix thoughts after hearing many good reviews about the f-sport.

 

Get the Joe Z,,, by far the best....

 

Can't really go wrong with either. You could get Joez exhaust if you are looking for that extra 1-2 WHP compared to F-sport/Tanabe. Only reason why I didn't go the Joez route is because it cost $1500. Couldn't justify paying $650 more for 1-2WHP.

 

Im with smokyis350, its really a matter of choice.

SO i should dyno the car this week, I was thinking doing the dyno the same way I did before the ehaders. basically the first two runs on 3rd gear and the 3rd run on 4th gear. I know 3rd gear is wrong but maybe doing it the same way should give me more accurate numbers. I wanna do it this way since the 3rd run means the engine gets warmer and looses some hp... I dunno what do u guys think?

 

With headers a P0157 CEL will come on if the 2nd O2 sensor is too far away from the main exhaust pipe. I'm assuming that you are using the O2 extension tubes from PPE. If it never comes back on then your cool. Otherwise you may need to reduce the lenght of the extension.

Good luck with the dyno - snow mode in 4th gear which is a 1:1 drive ratio.

 

do the first run in 4th so we can get an accurate reading, heat soak ruins dyno results

 

Posted a video on post #1. Its hard to get the real sound of the car on camera, but it gives you an idea

 

ah nice video.. cant wait to see urs dyno!!! shooting for 290ish if not 300rwhp... similar set up with out ppe header yet mine dyno 281.7 rwhp.. and i can feel diff. adding just a mid mid pipe... cant wait to get ppe header .... let's roll juice lolz...

 

I don't know about that.. I didn't feel anything with my midpipe/exhaust/intake..

 

then u should drive me car :P ,

 

That video u got was nice. Was that another IS at the end. Is seems that PPEs do the trick. They add the most HP. For the price its even better than going Supercharged.

 

A midpipe is 1-2 hp, anyone who 'feels' that is imagining things (or confusing sound with horsepower).

The headers on the other hand, if they produce the ~19 otherwise claimed, ought be noticeable

 

The car definitely feels more alive, Im not sure if they give 16rwhp. I would say it gives you some hp through out the whole RPM range. Lets wait for the dyno. Im guessing 10whp (since I can feel some difference)

 

Definitely get it dynoed. I got PPE headers for my GS4 and the increase is noticeable around midrange, but 19whp (advertised)? Doesn't feel like it.

 

c'mon Juice... hit me up when heading to the Dyno
