Congrats on the new purchase. That sounds like a pretty good price for a low mileage GS. Any other mods planned?

I'll probably buy an SRT intake next week. I don't know which exhaust to go for. What kind of performance gain will I get from an SRT intake and exhaust? And also what exhaust do you guys prefer? I want an exhaust that gives a throatty V8 sound.

Cool congrats!!!

I'm actually new to this forum however, I've had my GS4 for 4 years now. The only thing I'm somewhat ashamed of is...I haven't done anything to it other than enjoy driving the hell out of it! Mine is a '98 diamond wht GS4.

I just recently started looking on-line for performance parts, wheels, etc. but talk about challenging! I can't seem to find a local speed shop that provide for the GS model.

I'd like to hear any ideas you have or suggestions for websites that provide these parts.

Well, good luck and I know you're gonna definitely enjoy the experience!

Buying out of state does have its advantages. All the parts I've ordered have come from CA and
I just use my local Lexus dealer to install
