the sound the headers make is fantastic, sounds like an exotic. i bet the note would be more aggressive sounding with Joe z, Borla or ISS behind rather than the Novel.

Great point, I would like to hear the novel headers with a joe -z exhaust as well! However , if one is spending that much on a set if headers I am sure they would stick with the entire novel setup.

Their exhaust is almost as expensive if not more due to their electronic valve that opens up the exhaust at a certain rpm. A plain exhaust like a Joe Z or ISS would be interesting when paired with Novel.

I like these floor mats, I think this F emblem is better than the oem stitched; it probably stays cleaner too. That price is the only thing I don't like haha.

The only issue with the mats is that they are made for RHD and wont fit properly...unless Lexus has these for the LHD here in the states.
