Default Needed: IS-F in AZ for race header prototyping

Hi
We are looking for a local Arizona IS-F interested in a pair of race headers. Preferably the car should have stock exhaust or at least stock manifolds.

For those who have not heard of us, we are a Tempe, AZ based company that specializes in race headers and exhaust. We currently produce race headers for The IS350, IS250, GS300, GS350 as well as many other cars. You can check out our work at:
http://www.ppeengineering.com

Anyone interested can PM or email us at sales@ppeengineering.com and we can discuss the details and timing.

Thanks!
Paul

Any chance you will produce a MX-5 style header with high flow cats for our car?

Dang those IS headers look pretty clean, If I'd have known you were going to come out with some I'da held off the sikky ones and just had you do it since your local.

Thank you all for all the replys. We have someone lined up and will start the prototyping process in November.

This first design will be a race version, but we may do a 49 state street legal header in the future if the market is there. (the MX-5 and MR-S catted headers are for the SCCA STR class race cars, most people go for the cat-less version).

Thanks!

The more competition in the marketplace, the better.

PPE, your other model headers look good. We look forward to what you can bring to IS-F table.

We did some initial testing and our best gains were ~43whp at 6160rpm with stock exhaust and an aftermarket intake pipe. We are doing more testing and refining the design right now. We will post back when we have more info.

Thanks,
Paul
