I am in the same boat as you. After looking at the pictures - looks like this system will replace everything but the Borla axleback. I love the way the Borla sounds already but it would probably sound much different even if you kept the Borla axleback. I'd probably buy the whole system and sell the Borla system if I was to go that route.

Re header install -
You do have to " raise " the motor and drop the sub frame to access the motor. Basically, you " tilt" it. I took a fair amount of pics for my header install. Please search my UN, as you will see a fairly robust write up should you want to tackle it yourself.
A question for Nick or Basseem, when you changed the plugs......did you go one step colder?
Thanks

oh hell, i just saw that IG post saying that they were partnering with ekanoo, many people don't know this but rumor has it they have been able to get into the lexus ecu for quite some time. A little birdie told me ekanoo is partnering with another US company to put out a supercharger for the LC500 followed by a system for the RCF/GSF but it will be a root style charger.

I would love to see some dyno's for this new product. I know they posted numbers but why not show the full dyno run showing the hp and tq curve..

I spoke with Nick, and highlighted how our Cars are different on the dyno. He's not logging the time, as he mentioned that he's only doing a few pulls at a time and seeing the car come to heat. Our cars really need more than 3 pulls at a given time. They love the abuse and the power comes in after 5-7 pulls. Really it's iat and timing. I personally don't think one company is superior to another. There's only so much room for the piping and the tuning is our weak point. Not the exhaust.
Just my 2 cents
