Default FS: K&N FIPK for 98-00 GS400 (NIB)

I'm selling my K&N Intake kit for the 98-00 GS400. It's brand new so it comes with everything you need to install the intake.

I do not have a picture of it, unless you want me to take a pic of the box itself. I will not open the box just to take pictures. I rather sell the intake in it's never-been-open-box condition.

I'm letting it go for the same price I paid for it. $205 shipped ($5 to cover for paypal) Local pickup in 714 area is $180.

PM me if you want it. Post here if you have any questions. thanks.

ttt.

I've gotten PMs with people low balling. This is a very low price considering they go for almost $300 retail and ebay sells it for around $260 shippped. The price is firm and any offer lower than what I'm asking will be ignored. C'mon guys..if you can afford to buy a lexus, you shouldn't have to be bargaining for a few bucks

I looked around and couldn't find any hard numbers on performance gains from the FIPK on the GS400. Does anyone have links to some dyno sheets with before/after numbers by chance? I've seen this for the SRT intake, and would be curious how the FIPK stacks up.

Thanks...sorry if it's a newb question.

K&N states that the GS400 gains about 10whp. Keep in mind that the K&N does not have a piggyback ECU like the SRT does so it wont make as much power. The SRT has a bigger piping for more air flow at higher RPM, but the tradeoff is that you're going to lose more low end power relative to stock and the K&N intake. The K&N intake piping is between the stock and SRT piping in diameter.

Sure the SRT makes more power stock for stock, but if you add in an SAFCII into your car with the K&N, I'm willing to bet it can make as much power. A few have stepped from the K&N to the SRT and noticed little difference. But with the K&N/SAFCII combo, you can use the SAFC to tune your car (with the help of a dyno shop) after you get your exhaust system and other goodies. Not all cars are the same so fine tuning will yield you a good amount of power. The SRT piggyback doesn't account for any other mods you have on the car. The piggyback unit on the SRT is what gives it a good power gain, not the intake itself. Basically you want optimal air/fuel ratio, which is something you can obtain with an SAFCII and a good tuner.

The SRT is louder though so it'll sound more aggressive if that's what you want. the K&N already sounds pretty loud with wide open throttle. If you searched, many times I mentioned that I previously had an SRT intake. I sold that in favor for the K&N intake just because I plan to run an SAFCII later on and it'll be more useful than the SRT combo.

I'm going to dyno my car in April, but that's a long way ahead and I dont know if the intake will still be here .

Seems like you already have the K&N intake. Why did you buy another one?

I bought a new one but someone sold me their used one for a good price, so I figured I didn't need the new intake.
