- Today We are sharing Our PPE Header install & How-to video on Lexus RC350 V6 Same as the Lexus IS350.
We are installing these ceramic coated headers from PPE, we show You how to remove the factory exhaust manifolds and what steps need to be done in order to install these headers.
We also have a video on the Installation of the ARK Performance exhaust kit that We installed at the same time as these headers, however we didn’t want to make the video to long, so we decided to separate the two.
PPE Headers RWD - ebay.us/nS6xSo
PPE Headers AWD - ebay.us/VURlPL
ARK 2.5" Burnt Tip RWD - ebay.us/6hzkjZ
ARK 2.5" Burnt Tip AWD - ebay.us/ojM6p1
We hope that you find this information is useful.

5:30 🤣 love it
Me thinking it would be difficult putting headers on because of the amount of work needed, it looks like an easy 5 hour job times my experience making it an 8 to 10 hour work 😭😭😭😭
We can call it "quality time" with our cars...
Man's installing headers yet is still rocking the OG airbox with paper filter. At least pop in a K&N cotton filter to let the engine breathe a little better. As I comment on a 3 year old video lol
I wonder if the removal is the same for a third gen Gs. I’m really considering getting headers for it I have a p0420 intermittent code and don’t know how to determine what’s gone bad.
It should be very similar for the GS as well. For your code of you still have the stock manifolds and cats one of the catalytic converters may be failing or just a sensor starting to go out. Also check for exhaust leaks that can cause issues with the sensors throwing codes. Good luck with it!
i'm also curious if it will also fit 4th Gen GS350.
Shoulda put a before and after sound clip in here
Yes would be nice. On the other video showing the exhaust install on this car you can hear what it sounds like with the headers and exhaust. We did them both at the same time. Thanks for watching!
Hey I’m just wondering if the install is the same on the AWD vs RWD
Or if there are clearance issues due to the front diff
I don't expect it to be the exact same process but would this be similar for the is250?
Any luck?
Very similar. Almost identical. The o2 sensor runnings sit slightly different. You have to pull the drivers seat out but still all the same
@@leojohnwayne1422 o2 sensor position is a little different on the inside. Read above reply
Is there power difference? I’m considering it
Did he had any check engine lights? needed a retune?
Retune or run those 02 spacers to avoid codes
Man how in tf did you get your steering shaft on so easy, got mine off and now it wont go back on. The marks line up, and you cant really hammer it on because the shaft goes all the way in the cylinder if pushing to far back
Any issues with the car after the install. One guy on TH-cam was saying after headers his car was misfiring?
No None at all. Runs like a beast
How were you able to torque the bolts down..not much room for a torque wrench...what are the torque specs?
Do you think I should try following this video and doing it myself or take it to my local shop and pay $500-$600 and get it installed professionally? If I did start on it and remove the oem manifolds and am not able to put on the new ones do you think it’s bad to drive down to my local shop without any manifolds or anything?
Definitely don't drive it without manifolds. It would be possible to do some serious damage to the exhaust valves to open air like that and plus what it would do to the area around that open exhaust. If you have the tools and are decent with wrenching it's not a super hard job just take your time with it and be careful. It will take a while to do. If your unsure of it then you should find a place you trust to do the work. If you are in the Arizona area we would install them for $350.00
If you have any questions along the way we would be glad to help if we can.

Hey I’m in California but can drive to Arizona, I just ordered these. Would you be able to help me with install? None of my local shops here in California want to install because of emissions regulations and liability.
do you reccomend the ceramic coating i just bought mine and didnt get the coat
The coating is definitly nice. It helps with under hood temperatures and helps keep the headers from cooking parts around them. That is the purpose of the coating tho I myself have never checked back to back the difference between coated and non for heat output. You should be fine with the non coated ones just make sure nothing is touching them. I have yet to have any issues from non coated headers. Good luck with yours and happy moding!

Does ppe headers fit on stock midpipe?
Yes these ones will fit the factory exhaust
I am a bit confused if the oem catalytic converter gets removed for this header/exhaust upgrade. I live in the area where emissions test is required, I wonder if I can put this combo on for my RC350. Not concerned about the noise factor
So they say on the ARK Performance exhaust kit that was put on this car is still street legal & should not cause an emission related cod(s) to appear. the headers however are not emission friendly, since this is removing your upstream cats, they do come with O2 extensions/simulators, so in theory it should not set off a light, however, it may from time to time. so companies like RR Racing make tuners, they always say Off road use only, because they eliminate the triggers for the emission related components. Thanks for the comment!
@@lostvisionsperformance Thank you! I wonder how reliable information that they gave you about ARK exhaust kit being legal. I was hoping on getting RR Racing tune done but this may not work if they eliminate emission triggers since that might cause emissions test to fail (or not?). Also, I wonder if you know whether getting headers does change the way ARK exhaust kit would sound, what I do know header would give another 20-25 bhp but this option is out of question for me due to being emissions unfriendly. I wonder how do they install those headers in California and still pass the emissions? I live in Northern VA...
so on most tunes by elimination of the emission triggers usually means it wont show a code for a malfunction, meaning when they hook up to your car and it shows the readiness monitors are all passed they usually look no further. however if they want to really dig into it and see the actual readings they can, then fail you. It is a personal choice on modifications for this reason. it is sad that there are so many restrictions... I have not personally heard the difference in the ARK exhaust with factory exhaust manifolds. But I am sure that it still makes a great difference in the way the car sounds. it can always be a first step with the start of you project, everything else could be done after if you really wanted to, or it could be just enough to bump up the performance & sound a little without going ham.
@@lostvisionsperformance while diesel trucks, muscle cars do the mod all the time, is no issue. If it is an import, then is a red flag. Or go after those cars with loud exhaust and/or pops, oh but do not dare give a ticket to a f@rting Harley.
What do you mean by removing the lower studs at 10:05?
So they have studs in the head that the headers bolt to, you can remove them using a inverted torx bit, this way they are not sticking out and limiting your space during R&R.
would it be the same install for an RCF?
any follow up on this mod?
How long did it take to do the install?
The headers take around 4 or 5 hrs to do.
Is that same with lc500 install?
If it has the 3.5 motor then yes it would be very similar.
That has a V8………….
9:42 is there any problem with that wiring harness touching the headers? it looks like it would melt in a second!
It looks close but once they are placed back in the retaining clips it holds them up and out of the way from the headers.
@@lostvisionsperformance thanks I'm about to install this on my IS350. Can't wait!
@@enkrypt3d heck yeah! let us know how it goes! and any insight is always welcomed!
@@lostvisionsperformance just did the ark grip exhaust. It sounds good! Still waiting for the headers to be delivered tho. Trying to find a shop that will do it
Where are you located? How much would you charge to install headers on my rc350? I don't trust my local technicians lol
We are in tempe Arizona. For installing just the headers labor only we would do it for $350.00
Damn I wish I lived in Arizona would come to you guys lol
It's pretty obvious you know your shit, so would love to get your honest opinion, my feelings won't be hurt. I have the same car same year but it is not an F Sport, just regular RC 350. My ? Is would it be worth it to do this on my car that's not an F Sport. Been thinking about upgrading to an F Sport but not sure yet. Thank you in advance if you answer, I realize you may not be able to answer as your probably pretty busy.
Depending on what tier package of f sport. The regular 350s and f sports are the same. Maybe a different intake and the front calipers are different. But the rest is exterior and aesthetically stuff. The big difference is in the RCF many things change but not far gone either.
@@raidierg6978 thank you for the reply, that cleared up a lot of questions I had
this shit looks like a pain in the ass fuck that ill rather pay lol
It definitely isn't fun that's for sure. That's why we do them lol
Ok na po kuya baka nman my balik jan
Lol I sorry I had to have google translate for me. we are just starting out... but this will be great!
