Default Headers install in south Fl

To celebrate my second year with my F I finally decided to pull the trigger and buy a set of PPE headers, any legit shops in South Florida that can do the installation and how much I'm I looking into spend? I asked my local Lexus dealer and they said no way

JM Lexus should take care of this for you. I looked into this awhile back...they warranty the work up to 1 year, provide a loaner, and if the price hasn't changed. It should be under 1k. They do it under JM Creations. Congrats!

I had JM put my sikky headers on 3 years ago and they charged me $700.00 for the install plus a loaner for a whole week. Haven't had an issue. Check them out..

Are you going to run cat-less? Curious about the sound.

Lexus IS-F Sikky Headers - YouTube
sounds dope man. I really like it. What all did you have to do to have the ability to go catless? Do you have any weird smell at all from the open exhaust?

No problem, The only reason why i went to them is because they had previously done a few IS'F 's before mines. Even tho it's pricey considering installing headers on another car was fairly easy for me, but i wanted the peace of mind.

Thanks man, I removed and welded a straight pipe on those sections where the secondary cats was and resonator. The gas smell is there. No way around it once you remove your cats.

Great production values jdm-atlzza... the shine on your USB car, the camera angle, the Florida sun, the palm trees, the rev-matched downshifts w/bumps off the rev limiter. Best exhaust video yet.

Your car sounds awesome as well. Quiet at idle & cruise, beastly at wot.
