I second that.

21 mpg when I'm not jumping on it.

Also I'm running stock cats and am running CLEAN when smog tested.

Too bad I don't pass visual, but I have some friends

Awesome set up BTW

$4500 is a great price. You can't duplicate this kit for that amount of money.

I second this comment too.

I have 400rwHP and have been boosted for 5 years with no tranny issues.

Sure! I'm not in any rush to sell the SC kit anyways. How about a $1500 deposit then $1000 every month after that and once it's paid off I'll ship it to you. Deal?

I agree, it would probably be at least 6k to duplicate an sc kit for a 430. Trust me I've looked into it. And thats without the chrome and any extras.

Good Luck With Sale

This is a complete plug and play kit for a GS430. Everything you need is included with the kit down to every bolt. I will also include detailed instructions so you can install the kit on your own. Not sure what the difference or if there is any difference with installing this in a GS400.

I'm supposed to be looking for a daily driver. But this will be much better. Let me see if I can get the cash up without having to make payments. Stay tuned.

I'm pretty sure you would have to modify the pipe where the mass airflow sensor bolts on. The gs400 mass airflow sensor is a different shape, different size hole in the pipe and bolts on differently. You can check the srt page they show pics of the gs400 and gs430 mass sensor mounting plates.... but they might both have the same connecter.

...good catch, also I am pretty sure the bracket will be different as well; from what I understand this is a PITA to custom fabricate. In any event good luck! I REALLY like the chrome on the piping; I may just do mine in chrome now.
