Would they pass smog inspection in sunny Calif? I'm not sure if they would, knowing how tight the rules are getting. I agree with everyone, $1700 is a little steep, although at that price you do get 2 high flow cats included.

AFAIK it needs a CARB number in CA, which I'd be surprised if it had.

Technically, unless the cats it offers go in the stock location, it's not legal in any of the 50 united states... if it doesn't relocate the cats then it's probably legal in most states that aren't CA.

what do people think: juntw vs. mazzuri? Which has a better rep for performance and quality. (not considering price)

I would definitely go with mazzuri if they release something.

The thing is about the headers, as they were designed in Taiwan (Taiwan does not sell IS350's at all), they don't have any IS350's to produce a header for. So the best gains, I assume, would be for the IS250.

no it has cats. Your o2 sensor is on your exhaust after those primary cats that you see there on the headers.

i think you have that backwards. the o2 sensors are on the primary cats, if they were on the secondary cats then the LMS and Borla exhausts that remove the secondary cat would throw a CEL

I will as promised by the end of the year. I already have a IS250 sitting at the shop waiting to get fondled and they will not be anywhere near the $1700price tag... I can tell you there is maybe $40 bucks worth of material in there and maybe 2 hours of labor on a slow day... $1700 is just crazy.

So your headers will be designed for the 250 instead of the 350?!?

Please make the headers for the isS350!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The IS250 already has two options for headers (meagan and Juntw), but the IS350 has no options!!

I know that someone will say that the megan and juntw fit on the IS350, but remember the meagan and juntw are designed for the IS250 engine (i.e. displacement, etc...). The performance of the two headers on an IS350 is unknown and probably marginal at best!!!

MAZZZURI, please drop the IS250 and design for an IS350!!! I'm sure that you could get half a dozen CL members willing to bring their IS350 to your shop!!!!
