^^ thats a great idea.. but do you really think anyone who already has them istalled is going to pay to get them removed, and then put back on again..
maybe if we could all throw in for a fund to have daniel send you a set for testing, then you could either pay and keep or send them back pending results..

I can test the headers with the help of a friend with lexus toolsl. This will give more info than any dyno will ever give. I have already wrote mazzuri about this.
If you want this done , send a set of headers down to me and I will test them. If i like the results i will keep them and pay for them, if not I will send them back. I have a good reputation on this site, and even the moderators would backup my reputation. This is the best data everyone reading this thread could have. This would settle anything and everything about the design. I could have the complete results within 2 weeks.

T-love is having issues with a CEL, seems like something in the primary sensors was damaged during the install. So he is trying to get that fixed.

So what will the lexus tools do for us? How are they going to show us more than a dyno? Have you already done this testing to your own car?
From all of us interested in the headers...Thanks

Yeah it should be cool. I have to wait for carchitect to get back in town. he is on vacation with his wife. He is also very busy and gets pulled from a lot of directions (he is the one with the tool). carchitect had discussed this before and he offered, but I wanted to wait and see how this thread unfolded. There's a bunch of stuff going on here and it has to be hard for everyone involved. 1. Daniel has stated that his primary business does not come from making headers. That being said I am sure it sucks trying to do this in your spare time, answer questions in a forum, and sift through data. 2. I had planned on getting some headers once the o2 situation was resolved (either from daniel or dallas performance (taylor),so its not like I am going to lose anything. 3. I like the way daniel addressed the current is350 header owners, and would like to help him come to a conclusion that everyone is happy with.
Gernby - I will dyno down where we had cats removed. That is not that close for you, but if you want to roll down we can drink some beer or something? I think they are 75.00 for 3 pulls. I'll get that info. I will probably go get the baseline dyno on sunday. I'll keep you posted.
erik the tools they have at lexus talk directly with the car.. It will tell you where the car is falling on it's face , a/f, etc.. A lot of the same data you might get from your a/f on a dyno pull but on a more granular level talking directly with the computer and seeing what the car is doing to correct itself.
Sucks Daniel isn't here in texas because he could have my 350 for a month if need be.
This might take a few weeks so hang tight. I'll get the baseline info up here in about 1 week.

I don't see how the Lexus scan tool could be any more helpfull to diagnose this issue than an OBDII scan tool. My cheapo OBDII scan tool has totally adequate resolution if you are logging just one or two parameters at a time. It's not like you have to datalog EVERYTHING simultaneously.
Troy, you're right. That dyno would be rather far for 2 trips. I was hoping you would be doing the dyno pulls at Taylor's shop.
