Mike, you have a beast on your hands, nothing better than a growling V8!

Ok ok ok, This might be a dumb question, but how does an intake make your exhaust louder??? Is that only certain cars or what??

Exhaust has nothing to do with it and mine is still oem!

I love how a V8 sounds with an intake. This has to be the best I have heard so far for th GS! The FSport wins hands down for sound on the IS! Can't wait to see these later! Thanks Jeff!!

Habeeb,

Excellent for posting. Love that tube style sound. I met up with Mike last night, but he did not have the toy out (lol).

Alright Mike,

This weekend, you providing pony rides? I love how that sounds. Just like the TRD intake on y 1gen IS300 but beefier due to the V8. I love that "warm gargle." You will intimidate many this summer as a sleeper.

It may "sound" fast but its not that quick Its a big heavy boat but does the job for me for now anyway. Anyone want to get rid of a S/C or Turbo

How about a 2jz swap?

(yes I know that is a SC and not a GS- but it's still a Lexus! )

David did you have any luck today getting the wire diagram for my ECU? I am going to try to make it to the dealer after work so I can go in the garage and hand wash my car and have him pull the codes and see what the A/F ratios show.

Thank you!
