I'm glad it's not header design we thought it was everything else except the TB. We thought it was the headers because of the stepped diameter, exhaust location of x pipe on the invidia, ART pipes didn't show the loss in lowend from cams due to the power they make down low once removed it showed on the dyno.

I'm happy I don't have to remove them that drop in power kills everything. Luckily we had cipher to see what was happening in real time before I spent money replacing things.

The car felt like I had serious boost lag.

Hopefully soon since there was no fitment issues and since I'm 5AT there should be no problem fitting on a 6mt.

Hopefully when they become sponsors here they will get a group buy going I already suggested the idea to PPE.

Good to see someone take another stab at LTH for the DE and congrats on being apart of the fabrication!

found out last night with a consult that my blitz throttle controller was messing with the voltage between TP1 and TP2.

If the signal between the 2 is different acceleration will be poor due to not having the right values to open properly.

I guess the box for it had a short or started going out so we removed it and voltage was normal.

I haven't tested it out yet due to the wet weather if it fixed my issue I will get retuned soon hopefully this week before the holidays.

I'll keep everyone updated. I might make a video when I go down south for the holidays.

I have the only set they plan to put them production with a possible group buy. I know un-coated will be less than 1k.

I will post fitment pics later when it's dry out and yes they clear the steering rod with room to spare they don't touch at all.

From PPE

We haven't gone into production yet. We can build you a pre-production set if you would like. The pricing is the same as our 370Z headers at $1050.00 with the polished ceramic coating, or $850.00 in painted steel (the ceramic coating is highly recommended). The coating has a lifetime warranty against rusting, flaking or pealing and increases performance.

It will take around 10 business days to build the header for you and have it ceramic coated.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Best Regards,
Paul Prentis

Is there a difference in that area between a rev up and non?

Stealth are you getting a set?
