That collector doesn't look much better than that ultra cheap eBay header that was posted about a few weeks ago.

Default Warranty

I am sorry to ask a warranty ? here but I was wondering something. I think I read somewhere on the forum that if you get the LMS parts installed at a dealership the parts will not void warranty and will be covered by the warranty. If this is true please let me know because if it is I am getting the LMS headers exhaust and intake soon. I know they are more then others and not as good intake as the K&N but if they are covered by warranty that is a selling point for me.

Also wondering how will the ECU deal with all of these upgrades?

just spoke with Perry at LMS. LMS is NOT NOT producing any headers.
The item on the LMS website is an ERROR!!! They planned to make headers, but due to R&D and lack of demand the project was killed.

Oh well. Still hoping on MAZZURI.....

If they were going to offer a junky header, then I''m glad they pulled the plug on it. The chance of us getting a high quality header is much higher if there is less competition.

I am pretty sure it's the same ebay one. The pics are exactly the same.

anyways there should be 2 others out by year end. Too bad LMS didn't go forward with theirs.

isn't there that other TW company that actually makes good quality stuff making some too? I thought there was a link on here to their site. They made a lot of stuff for the IS. Not the one above obviously.

How do our stock headers look? Is there even much room for improvement?

We don't have headers at all. We have really crappy exhaust manifolds that look like something off a 30 year old work truck.

That's good to hear... kind of. At least there's hope for some gains on a set of headers.

I know this is comparing apples to oranges but the E92 stock exhaust system looks pretty nice... except for that kink before the mufflers.
