Def looks the goods Benny,!! Would you be get headers when there available..? Richieisf

This Intake only fits the ISF. Not Is250/350 thanks for your interest!

Like chalk and cheese jaydee. After they applied the carbon killer they moved my car outside and it filled the carpark with carbon smoke. You couldnt see the car for over ten minutes. The response is back. No more sluggish accelartion. And sooo much smoother. The spark plugs were dead. And labour quality way better then lexus. Its like new again. But still missing an extra 100kw. Hmm. Might have to start looking for that. Time to buy a ISF maybe...?

No probs mate

Thats cheap! So are you planning to supply that to the Lexus dealer for service? Would they do that, allow you to bring your own parts? Coz damn I would have saved heaps! Well provided you told them you was supplying your own parts and they were the correct parts, then i can't see why not. I got quoted $1265 for new pads, and rotor machine on my ISF.. I got better pads then stock for $330 , and the rotor machine for free. from a mate who owns a brake shop.! Pays to shop around. Or fit them your self.!

Was quoted $60-$70 a plug for my ISF... x8. so that $560 for my plugs, However from Miami Lexus I'm getting the 8 for $114, plus 20 postage.!

1. ilv1004s 2. malibu 3. Epicurean 4. Brisman (outsider) 5. Richieisf (Hopefully Im still in Sydney)

so when is the date ?

Am currently in talks with a few places to see if this can be done. Hopefully have a answer soon. Richie

Wow , I've got Toms panel filter, and a Icode intake. Am looking at getting a full Takeda intake soon, or even if i could borrow one to try on mine as we dyno it. Richie Richie

Easy mate!

What intake you running.? Richieisf

Yeah Danny , put me down as a hell yes! Richie

Yeah I've had it on 3 times, and had 3 different readings... 278, 261, 263 kws atws, and they all have one thing in common.. these engines run CRAZY rich up top, close to 11.5 a/f ratio, which is safe for the engine, no good for power. Am talking to a few places trying to chase piggybacks so we can lean it a touch .. as there is no use doing headers, and intakes if we can't alter or even adjust the tune a little to suit the breathing mods fitted.. Richie

Epping's around the corner from me, but I don't know of a Hurricane's there. Do you mean Top Ryde City? Yeah sorry . was a bit off. lol ! Am super keen for a drive/cruise /photoshoot asap !

60-70Kw ATW is a pretty big gain (from say a 290Kw ATW starting point) from just exhaust and intake, I'd be wanting to see a before and after dyno read out. 100KW from those 3 mods is supercharger territory. I'd expect 20-30Kw from experience. Who Has 290 Kws taws ? Most of us have around 250-260 kws atws now. Im lead to believe most guys in the states have around 300-310 after fitting the headers, JoeZ and intake.. But you right , 100kws is a massive jump in power from just them 3 mods.! if there was a way to lean these things out up high even just a touch then you might expect around 50-60 kws extra... Im hunting around at the mo for a ecu that will do this.! Richie

Ahh knew you would love it .! However , when Sid gave you the power readouts, did he say if that was at the engine or at the wheels.? and if that was Kws, or horsepower.? Reason i ask is, the guys in the states are averaging around the 380-405 hp (283-302kws at the wheels , with headers, JoeZ exhaust and intake. And the hightest Hp ISF I've ever read about has 421 HP at the wheels, which in the new money is 313.9 kws at the wheels. I suspect out Aussie read outs should be more due to the higher octane petrol we had available... most "gas" stations in the states only sell 91, which we all know here as well basically "*BLEEP* fuel" Was he able to give you any kind of price regarding the headers, and when they would be available ? Below is a pic of the Carbon Tips. Enjoy.! Yeah.. definitely loving the new sound it makes. Sid didnt mention whether the readout was at the engine or wheels. he did mention it in kw's though. In regards to the headers, he didnt have a price yet. He showed me the only test header which was to be installed on his friends ISF - Lucas?? Once it tests out fine, he will order some in and price it at that time. he said he'll be sending out an email to all the F owners once its available. Those carbon tips look great.. What did that set you back. Those were the ones he must have been talking about. What I did notice is that the exhause only has 1 pipe on each end. I could have sworn the OEM exhasust had 4 pipes, but Sid mentioned that even the OEM had only 2 pipes.. I think it kinda looks weird where you can only see the one pipe through the 2 tips on each end.. Hey bud, Firstly , I don't own them tips that was a pic i grabbed online, but I've heard of these tips a while back , and they were close to $299 USD when they were launched. so who knows what there worth now. Plus id assume Sid means Hp at the wheels... Still more then enough to take on most HSVs and Falcons.. Ive beat a few GTS's in my ISF.! Yeah the OEM muffler has 2 smaller outlets on each muffler section as per pic below However thats why when i fitted my JoeZ exhaust i blacked out the ends of the outlets, like this , The End result being like this , And looking like this from behind

God no , its louder.! you would think the gates of hell have just opened.! With headers, its even better.! While i was in the states, i took a ride with a guy who had the PPE headers and the JoeZ exhaust .. Wow is all i can say .. we all in for a treat !

the Factory Headers have a set of Cats fitted to them, as per my pic below. Ive been pulled in by the HWP and i told the guy when asked bout the exhaust, that it was stock ... and that after spending that much on a car you would expect the pipes to be shiney Then a RTA guy asked me if i had a "engineers report" for the Wheels, brakes and engine.. As he said these only come with V6 engines... Not until i pulled out the Owners manual did he believe me that it was stock , and the car came from factory with the V8 , the big brakes and wheels.! The best was when he asked who fitted the V8, the Brakes and wheels...and i answered " well i don't know him personally... some guy from Lexus in Japan" lol I highly doubt you would get any problems with the exhaust .

Am told , end of this month Should see them fitted to someones Ride. Hopefully i can get a set fitted with before and after dyno charts,!

What is the noticeable performance difference (apart from the louder V8 sound) should I be looking out for when I pickup the car with the JOE Z exhaust and intake upgrade? Should there be faster accelaration from a stand still? Also, does it still make use of the OEM quad tips? They dont replace this right? The performance should be more, however it may take a few kms for the ECU to fully learn ... and yes, it still uses the Quad tips, I painted the tips of my exhaust as it looked like this... And from Behind the car, all you see is 2 nicely polished pipes and this.... Enjoy!

I bought the Icode intake just for the Stealth look, Its not made what you would expect for $350-$400, but i guess its slightly better what was fitted from factory.. As you can see, the intake is right there ! , so yes you should be able to see it . Just be sure they don't over tighten the air box clamp, and it will crack the air box and your engine will breath in unfiltered and unmetered air., the latter causing your air / fuel ratios to be all over the place.!

The Icode intake while being quite pricey .. is an amazing bit of kit.!
