what all is supposed to come in the box? i thought there was supposed to be a harness extension or something like that. is that coming with the install kit? lmk...

 

Supposed to be a bag of wires to extend your O2 sensors, PPE catalog, and stickers that what got when I received mine Nov 2011.

 

Actually really easy for a single person...a little determination working from the top and bottom I was able to get one side out...

All six can be reached from below the car...

Amazing how the right tools get the job done.

 

hahahahahahahaha

 

Havent gotten anything so far.. hope they come in next week...

 

Think the shipping company got lost in tx cuz its so big lol I haven't gotten anything neither.......

 

Driver side removal is a b!tch!

4 more to go

 

Hey atleast you get to install them! Won't be home till Thanksgiving.

 

not sure how much more difficult the longtubes are than the regular headers but when i did them on my old 04, drivers side was the easiest?? just disconnect the steering rack and thats it (if i remember correctly)? passenger side was a ***** because of the coolant lines and all that other shenanigans. its been forever though so i could be forgetting some important steps that would make it harder.

 

i didnt have anything else in my box but headers. did anyone else receive a bag of wires, ppe catalog and stickers?

 

It probably depends on the design. I've heard some say that [some] LTH's are easier to install than [some] shorties. A lot of shorties end up being very bulky near the engine heads for the sake of trying to make the primaries longer and/or equal length in a smaller package (see Crawfords). LTH's don't have to make those same compromises since they have more overall room to work with (since they eliminate the cats and can thus cheat into that space).

 

Are you sure my bag was buried in peanuts at the bottom of the box.

 

Mine were mailed out to me a few days before I got the headers. I'll check my box and see if there is an extra set.

 

i dug around in there pretty good. then i dumped it all into this big waste hopper and dug through it again... didnt see anything...

 

Nothing in mine, will probably come to your mailbox like mine did

 

i hope you didnt get mine terrasmak, i didnt want the long o2 extension, except i wanted NONstepped, not stepped like the ones you got. great...

 

Yes Massios ! The lexus guys screwed us and then Jet went above and beyond to delay it even more. Trust me I have 2 customers waiting as well, It's hard to deal with several companies to get a product together but we all learned our lesson and PPE is now doing EVERYTHING in house including coating.

 

i think everyone's tensions are just running high because we are all way way way beyond anxious to get these installed... especially after seeing derek's dynos. once we all have them on and get tuned, i suspect there will be a unanimous and resounding "yes it was worth the wait". i think, to ppe's credit, they hammered out nearly 60 sets of headers between a few guys pretty fast (the lexus group buy was around 40 people). i think it was jethot that really dropped the ball on this... it shouldnt take a month to get 15 sets of headers coated.

mgrotel - they didnt send terrasmak the wrong headers. they just forgot to put on the extra o2 bung on but they are taking care of it. good to know. we were all worried when we read that.

 

Got mine in today and they look great! Now just waiting on the hardware kit and the extras from PPE.
