Default FS - SRT Intake with ECU

Hi. Bought this from another member last month and it is too loud for my taste otherwise it works great. Will let it go for $375 and I'll pay the shipping to continental U.S. He used it a few thousand miles and I used it a few hundred miles. Will take paypal if you pay the fee. Thanks.

I'd be interested, but the ECu is not for my '99 GS.
But just out of curiosity, how loud is too loud? Is it just too loud for a Lexus, or is it obnoxiously loud? Does the noise sound like it's buried under the hood, or can you hear it thru the vents, etc?

You can definitely hear it in the cabin at partial and wide open throttle.

The best way for me to describe the sound is like a supercharger. It sounds incredible at wot but inbetween the two extremes it has has droning sound. Installation was fairly easy and there is a good reason many here on CL have it.

Yes, I did install this myself. It was fairly easy. And no, I won't split it up. They go well together.

1gs430 - did you notice any difference in the acceleration of your car after installing this on your gs430?

Only at wide open throttle. No significant gains at lower RPM's.

Personally....i felt some gains at low rpm.....maybe cuz after installing my SRT w/ecu, reconnected the battery (reset ecu)....and rev'd the car up for a few minutes...it felt alot better and more responsive.

Didn't I read on one of your threads that you have a greddy evo exhaust that you love? Is this intake even louder than that?
