Atlanta won't be a problem. James ships stuff all over the place so I know it won't be a problem.



Jin it doesn't matter who wins the race as long as it was fun haha. My cousin is going and he has a SRT 8 challenger. You can beat him and feel really good that you beat a 6 liter hemi. I'm pretty sure we are going on sunday.

True! I'm just amazed how much more power it's gonna pump out from the headers..Around Towson There aren't too many cars here that can keep up with me..5 plus month ago I raced a GTO 6.0 but we were going neck and neck mainly b/c of heavy traffic and I had a passenger but about a month ago I raced a another one hands down beat it..Few Weeks back I raced a Camaro 400Hp SS Automatic not the Manuel 425 version beat that too! As for manual version can't say since never raced one yet!!

No one will ever race me. It sucks I don't understand. I've only been able to full out race bikes really. I raced some bike last night wasn;t sure what it was because it was dark but I know he never pulled on me. We were neck and neck the whole time. I tried to race a vette yesterday but he wouldn't race and when he finally gave a little jump and I hit it and I flew past him and he wouldn't race me after that . I guess the exhuast scares people I don't know. Oh and like 15 second VW's try to race me . Not worth the time. Jin I can't do sunday my brother is coming to my house to work on my bar in my basement with me. Ravens theme!!!!

 

[jaslapp1]

Tomorrow I go down and talk to James at JE about when he wants to start. I believe he wants to start now so hopefully we will have some headers before too long .

Jason, be careful racing Vettes b/c 2005-2009s they are light cars stock than F's with higher intake and slighty more Hp..Then when you get into Z06 and ZR1 they're really frightening..I raced few vettes here and there with or without mods on the F, Vettes are fast cars..
BTW No problem, I work anyway..

GO SKINS!!! Sorry Jaslapp, had to do it.

I haven't really raced anybody with the F yet...I have only seen admiring glances from those in the know, or flew past people before they knew what was happening. As for bikes...I don't know what type of bike you raced, but it certainly wasn't anything like mine. As awesome as the F is, my bike would leave it in the dust in the same manner an ISF would dust a Geo Metro. Of course there are a lot of sportbike riders out there who don't know how to ride or are too scared/smart to ride hard.
By the way...I am jealous...I wish I had a bar in my basement.

Looking forward to seeing these headers matted to our Full Exhaust System!!!

Will be much louder once the OEM CATS are gone....

Any talk on how they plan to cure the problems that will occur with the O2 Senors readings???

jaslapp1,

Please keep us posted about the headers. Can't wait to see the dyno results. I wonder how loud the JoeZ exhaust will be with the headers!?! It's gonna be SICK!
I live in Elkridge, MD and I am willing to drive to his shop and pick up the headers.

Cheers,

Rachael

2008 LEXUS ...For Sale

I putting my 2008 ISF up for sale tomorrow it will hit the paper for only $49,900......Here's the best part it only has 1200 miles. It has all options except distronic cruise.
It even has the ipod option order from the factory.
The exterior is silver with black interior. You won't find a more pristine car!
This car is perfect, not a scratch and always kept in an air conditioned garage. I have 9 cars so this one will be sold soon.
I am 67 years old and just bought the car because it is different from the average car.

 

[jaslapp1]

I'm heading out of my house in few minutes to go drop off my F. I'll keep everyone posted as the process goes on. I leave for the beach next week so hopefully by the time I'm back it will be done and I'll have dyno sheets and all the works for everyone.

Is your F white? If so I believe my girlfriend has spotted you in columbia a few times.

Joe I'm not sure yet since they haven't actually seen the bottom of the car. That is one thing I was thinking about though but I'm sure they will be able to figure something out. I'll let you know what James says about it.

I can't wait to see the results. Depending on how it sounds (i.e. no droning while cruising) I might just have to break my commitment to keeping my ISF stock for a while.

 

[brattygirl72]

Negative, my F is silver with Illinois plates.

I stopped by JE Import Performance yesterday to take a look around. I was definitely impressed after talking to a couple of the guys there. They know their S$#t. I am going to bring my wife's S2000 up there tomorrow to get the coilover ride height and camber angles adjusted (regular shops keep messing it up). I can definitely see them doing a good job with whatever they create for the ISF.

I'm glad you went down and enjoyed their shop.

Jaslapp, I saw your car up on the lift and went on the shop floor to get a good look at the ISF underbody. I talked with James about the headers. He said that the stock ones appear to be very restrictive...almost as if Lexus put them in as an afterthought. I hope this means that some good aftermarket headers will net a decent power increase.

i'm ready...

Oh ok... I thought they say your exhaust already..

Well the concern is going to be the O2 senors that are installed right at the oem manifold or proposed header..

We have had much progress on finding or making O2 simulators that work on these newer 06+ Lexus'..

Cool... Did you get to see our exhaust on his is F???

I would say Lexus designed the restrictve manifolds based on power output wanted and space contraints located inside our super tight engine bays..

I agree that there is room for improvement on the header design, which should create some more power on our V8's once, the primary CATs are deleted..

Some good R&D should come out of this, on whether its going to be worth it or not to create headers.
