^^^^Mr, Rhino. American Racing was a sponsor here for a very short time. They did not get a lot of attention here. The general feeling was that their workmanship was below par. However, I have had no experience them. I personally had PPE headers on my ISF and I have 'em on my LC. I went to PPE's web site and do not see an offering for your LS. My advice is to give PPE a call and ask for Paul. Phone number is (480) 615-7900.

It’s also not very uncommon for the fanboys of the current vendors to run off the new ones. The exact same thing happened to ARH on the M3 forums. Yet everyone who actually bought the headers loved em.

There was a lot of negative feedback from the original sikky headers too. Seeing as they were much cheaper thus got what you paid for so to speak.

The V2’s on the other hand don’t compare in the slightest. Highest quality, install was straight forward, and have zero complaints. Was worth trying them for myself.

thanks brothers I have spoke with "Eric" at PPE part owner. I think him an Paul are the owners an the 2 brothers. Either way me an Eric have extensive back an forth text an emails. Fantastic folks. They are also local to me as in 20-30mins local. With that being said "Keith" with DD Ind. Is stoked to help outta San Diego an already gave me the absolutely best price on JBA shorty's or Long tube. With 30-40HP an I think 69lbs TQ! Now PPE is 3x's the cost but local fantastic guys an all though they cannot "confirm" the Whole Lexus (Tuner side) community knows that the LS460 an GS460 not so secretly share ridiculous similarities to an Including the ISF 5.0l - headers almost being a bolt on except for runners. Im going TT in a few weeks with a true an steadfast ECU an Trans Tune (no kidding) . but will still do the long tube header shortly after, for R&D anyway. Most LS an GS guys are content with expensive wide bodys an big wheels. No thx.. I'm not most. Thanks gents. Any ideas any spare ISF parts..that you don't mind parting with for $0.00 - $?.00 is greatly appreciated. Buy the way I will producing a intake manifold very very soon. For the ISF (as you guys seem to be more interested in out right performance) however with fitment; it should be stupid close to the 460 guys! Thx again an Merry Christmas

could anyone tell me what the ARH headers with their x pipe sound like compared to equal length headers with an x-pipe. Could i get that exotic sound with long tubes such as the ARH?
