We have more respect for JP Performance since it is more popular amongst us and they do great work.

Hey Bro,

What engine do you have under the hood? :P

If you’re going to Headers on the V-6 (3.0L 1MZ-FE) there are only two venders that supply the exhaust kit. They are JP Performance and Xerd. I believe the Xerds are priced lower; however, some of the member had some discrepancies with Xerd in providing the product after payments. I'm currently running the JP setup. I’m very happy with them. It has a nice throaty sound (very aggressive IMO).

Here is the site to find the JP exhaust system:

Xerd site:
http://www.xerd.com/category.php?catid=0
Just a ideal price of the product:VVV

Whatever you go with, I wish you luck... :wink: :P

Peace,
-G

headers

XERD headers are nicer than the jp's and there half the price. IF your supercharged, full equal legth headers will make more power than shorties in my experience.

Your gonna have to wait 8-10 weeks on the xerds. They are on back order. So your best best would be wait for the xerds or have a custom y pipe made which will give you similar gains.

Every once in a while a set of used jp's will pop up but thats pretty rare. Once someone forks over 1600 they are hang on to them unless they crash or sell the car.
