That's cause he's got the front seat ALL the way back.

Otherwise, it's not different than the sedan. In fact, from what I remember on the sedan, I think that the vert's front seat goes further back for even more leg room vs the sedan.

It's 16, and that's with the addition of a full cat-back exhaust. There's no results available on just the headers AFAIK.

I highly believe the IS350 on SC can push out way more than 400HP to the crank with PPE headers, improved IC, etc.
YOU go watch the video. You never get to see the dyno chart. You get to see stated results at the bottom of the sheet. That doesn't tell us anything (like if it was dynoed correctly, what the base output was, or even what kinda dyno was used). Further, the max power on the runs ranges from 350 to 367 (again with no information about any of those runs, or the charts of the results).

I can go dyno my -stock- IS350 (well, intake/exhaust) and make the "max power" number look insanely high if you don't need to see the actual chart or know anything about how I did the test or require any baseline.

I beat the car stock and then drove it supercharged, all I can say is "HOLY *HIT!!" what a difference. I'm VERY happy with the improvement. I felt my twin turbo IS F before she was twin turbo'ed and at 5psi that gained over 200hp on that V8. Now, that is NOT comparing apples to apples but this isn't the first supercharged or turbo'ed car I have owned or built. I have built 92 cars since 1997 and this is the 85th one I have done force induction to. When you have all the experience that I do, you can sit behind the wheel of a car and then after forced induction and pretty much call the gain. This isn't rocket science as you know, and I'm sure you could do the same thing to with that experience.

As soon as I get it home from SEMA it is going right on the dyno to dial in this supercharger the way I WANT IT. I can put my money where my mouth is, I don't talk crap and NOT back it up. Look at my work and my work from the past. Like Hogan says, "You know what I'm sayin' brother?"
I hate when people talk all about money this and that! btw what happen to the is-f nobody who has one gets what it says it will. The power and gains seem to be different from what i read on the forum. nobody seems to be able to run one and a company on the forums is fixing the flaws. i am saying this very humble because i looked at adding one but with all the bad pr most of us have turned away. help me understand! if the is-f u made was so bad *** then why does no one brag about track times and if it truly is show me so i can get excited again!

Who needs a group hug? Coupes are for two and backseats are for insurance purposes

The calipers were simply masked off and resprayed. You can see the tape line inside the caliper in this pic, where it gives way to the original F-Sport blue paint:
