Headers first? One of Phil's buddies has an IS-F and their headers make over 50 hp gains...can't believe how restrictive the factory system is on those beasts.

Nice snag!

What can I say, its a V8 rumble out of the box. Smooth as hell with ever increasing speed. The trans shifts so fast, its like a video game. Be quite honest, other than the felt G's and push back in the seat, the acceleration and shifting is just like selecting this car in GT5.

They cant be compared. Almost 20 years apart. The legend, when not burning out tires and generally driving around like a seriously modified import, has the same if not more acceleration felt being sucked in to the seat, but theres a small window of satisfaction there, mostly due to the FWD layout, exessive power production and shear age of the chasiss,powertrain & technology.

Not sure which ones he was looking at, but I know he's in OK and there's no emission testing there. Plus, everything I read says you have to pull the motor to swap the headers...it's pretty tight I guess, but for 50 bhp from a $1500 mod...that's hard to beat.

Are you two dudes seriously doubting me? The first pic has some magic wand color inversion around the cars to dress up a rather ugly garage, but to suggest its photoshopped-like I really dont have the car is insulting.


G35 is sold, and gone.

Sorry man, I didn't mean any offense, it was merely a joke because of the wand effect, like you said.

Beautiful color, great spec. If it were mine, I think an eventual step would be to fit an exhaust that actually ends in those tips!

Those are great cars, though, easily an M3 sedan or Audi RS4 competitor. Congrats on an amazing pick-up!

Nice pick up. Those cars are amazing machines. I got to sit in one at the Lexus dealer a few months back and start it up. That was fun...

It has a very different sound than the ES300 I drive nearly every day...
