They have their guy. I (sigh) am 2nd on the list. I know them by reputation, and they will be a great addition to the F aftermarket supplier list.

They are currently working on other projects and also will be heading to SEMA, but will begin working on the IS-F headers mid to late November, with completion scheduled about 2-3 week after (so, roughly early to mid December).

no offense but we have heard that in the is-f game for every part that was ever to come out or be developed. that being said i welcome the new comer as competition is good for us enthusiast.They are currently working on other projects and also will be heading to SEMA, but will begin working on the IS-F headers mid to late November, with completion scheduled about 2-3 week after (so, roughly early to mid December).

exactly what im saying lol.
Yup, I gotcha.
But, it's just headers and it's been done twice before and PPE has already done them for many other Lexus models while staying within a reasonable timeframe, so hopefully things won't run much longer (if any) than they anticipate.
Either way, as you said, it will be good to get some more parts on the market. Considering two other vendors already sell the headers (although I think Elite is still in "presell" mode), PPE definitely has some motivation to get these headers out quick, before everyone buys Sikky or Elite's.
Again, time will tell.

^^^^It's really a damn trip trying to attach a document to a post on this forum. I've complained about this before. The files sizes are too darn small. I downloaded a Kenne Bell white paper, which I spent 30 mins. trying to make small enough to fit here without luck). So I attached the appropriate section here:
3. DYNO CURVE SMOOTHING -The smoothing function "flattens" or "smooths" the peaks on the curve thereby increasing/reducing the HP reading. Peaks originate from the slight jerking motion of the tires on the dyno rollers, surging or torque converter flashing spikes at the shifts. Disregard these spikes. Note: At Kenne Bell, we use the unsmoothed curves as it has proven valuable in our analysis and data collection. For example: An out of balance tire or a slight ignition misfire could show up as spikes that shouldn't be disregarded by smoothing. Smoothing can vary power readings by approximately 10HP.
Sorry I couldn't attach the whole thing, or at least a page out of it
