Default Intake Question for 98 ls

I have a 98 ls400 I got a few months ago. I was looking around and notice that theres not really any intakes for it. But I did notice that there were a alot for the gs400 and ls430. So my question is will a intake for a gs400 or ls430 fit on a 98 ls400? Just curious.

depends on which one. all i can say is that custom work is always an option. but i would check the fitment measurements ect first.

you'll be very lucky if you can improve on the stock intake with an aftermarket pipe/pod... infact you just wont. Remove the muffler/chambers from the intake pipe and the front snorkel bit if you want the intake to make a bit of noise, seal the holes back up with plastic from the muffler and epoxy glue.
