Default Weapon R gs300 intake

Ive noticed that the intake place on the 2jzge and non vvti 1uzfe are in about the same place on the same side. By any chance would the weapon r gs 300 intake fit on a 1st gen ls ?

I just had a racer in downtown explaining me how to have a Cold Air Intake custom installed to get most HP. This guy really knows his stuff...wow!

Its all about custom piping. The main idea is to get your intake pipe long enough to almost reach the front wheel and place a filter there. This way you will be getting coldest air possible. To protect the filter from water, all you need to do is to make a little scoop that will get more air. Easiest way to get max performance.

Man on our LS's it is almost impossible to make it to the wheel because of the large V-8.

Yeah i'd like a lil' more info on a cold air intake too........i talked with one guy about it before and he said that some people make the cold air intakes but they tend to be really loud.......louder than normal.........he said to make sure and get the right kind of piping (Cant remember what kind specifically, bad memory).........wrong material can make louder annoying sound and would get warmer than normal............thats what the import tuner guy was telling me..........but if u make a cold air intake i'd be glad to pay you for it.
