I am currently bandying emails with xerd in the us and i am trying to get a stainless manifold etc from them. All there specs sound good but does anyone actually have any xerd kit. I can't source it in the uk but they have GS parts at last
and they say they carry a full lexus stock would be interested in your comments

I didnt think they would fit RHD cars?
I think Fargo bought one a while ago and flogged it to some european guy from memory

I think Paul (Fargo) has some Xerd kit, and one of the Euro memebers has the Xerd headers, but they are both on the IS range...

The Xerd manifold WILL fit the LHD but the downpipe (they call it the Race Pipe2-into-1 pipe) will not fit LHD

i got the xerd racepipe,, that fits no problem.
the manifold however is a different story,, it was tight to fit over the bit on the engine block but the steering rack fouled..
