Great "FAST" build thread James. Must say that I was lucky to be in the shop today for the results. Superb work as usual, this car is really nice and sounds fantastic, you have one very happy owner, on a long drive home.
With your expertise and the guys you have working for you I think you have the best shop on the east coast.

Hello everyone, I want to start with giving a giant thank you to James and his crew at JE. This was probably the fastest, smoothest performance install I have ever had and with WOW results at the end. After my long drive the first thing that comes to mind is "What a sound track...Hitting the start up button turns on a symphony! WOT sounds so clean, deep, rumbling monster!!! Idle purrs like a kitten... no, a panther on steroids and cruising speeds are almost silent with no drone at all... 70-80 mph with cruise control on you can barley tell it has an exhaust. You can enjoy conversation, use bluetooth freely hear the stereo no problem, then you give it some gas and it changes everything. I truly feel that this is the best exhaust combination you can have on an IS-F at this time.. Growls when it means business, quite when you're tired and don't want a headache, 59 whp speaks for itself and it will pass VT state inspection all day... Again Thank you JE and to all of you thinking about doing header/exhaust installs i wouldnt call anywhere else, 650 miles later and no CEL, rattles or leaks.... just a supercar!!

James selected the cats, there was not an option, they installed the size that would work the best and random technology makes nice products it would be my only choice for aftermarket cats anyway. These are the same cats that are in Caymandriver's car, they are working perfectly for both of us and we dont mess with things that work perfectly

Excellent way to prove worth of every part and person involved.
So is the aftermarket intake now paying off or would the stock intake still be sufficient in terms of little to be gained?
421 whp is some serious daily power, should we assume it has that much or just that dynapacks read high with they usually do. I know in this case it was to determine a gain. 500 flywheel hp; this Lexo should be running 11's all day.
Lastly what was the total bill including install?

No need to assume hp.. im getting on a dynojet (rollers) before and after the intake manifold install

I dont think im the highest HP to date... Splats car did 430 with its N/A build and the Beast from the middle east did about the same.. The only difference is they have/had ported intake manifold so we will see soon when my car gets its in a week or two

Anyway, it's consistency that matters so as long as you get a good baseline run on the dynojet you should be able to see what kind of gains you are getting from the manifold. Good luck.

Don't be surprised if your dynojet hp numbers are lower than your dynapack ones. Based on my experience the dynojet runs lower on the hp numbers but higher on the tq number. Then again it could just be the dynojet I use because several people say it's an ego killer. Anyway, it's consistency that matters so as long as you get a good baseline run on the dynojet you should be able to see what kind of gains you are getting from the manifold. Good luck.

Who is doing your ported intake manifold? Elite?
