Hey FIGS, is there a way you can include the Cat Flanges? My car had the OEM header cut and they put universal cats on it. So I'll need to get the cat flanges welded up to my y-pipe.

Curious. Will there be a GB for IS250/350s in the future for the PPE headers? I recently purchased an IS250 AWD in June, looking to stack some mods during winter for install in Spring.

I can check, so you just want another end flange to mate to?

Anyone had any experience installing these bad boys? Ive asked around a couple of shops and they turned me down. One told me the reason why. He said something about if he breaks the bolts off and it snaps, it'll never go back in. any inputs guys?

Can you define which bolts might break and what "it" is? Thanks

I just need the flanges right off the headers that bolt into the cat. My factory headers don't have those flanges because the previous owner had the flange cut off, then universal cats put on. So I would need those flanges to weld to the other end of my y-pipe

Hi guys, 430 headers should ship tonight and the first two GS400 headers tomorrow. Will supply tracking with your order and you will get a notification. Thanks Mike

@ihiryu, I will check on this.

they might be thinking of the head studs breaking, but this has not been an issue on these cars. Did they have experience with a 430 or 400 specifically?

Mike

Thanks much FIGS,

as far as head studs go, I've done headers on two SC400's with no issues. Haven't done a 430 though
