Default Advice on intake alternatives to SRT

I ran the SRT intake/ecu on my previous gs4's. With SRT seemingly out of commission (according to threads herein and them not returning my correspondence) I'm wondering about alternatives. I've done some searching on CL but many posts are quite old.

As discussed on many threads, the big plus to the SRT was the piggy back ECU. I really enjoyed the better throttle response.

Any recommendations for alternative intakes that go beyond good looks and throaty noise? I have an 05' gs430.
Thanks,

Thanks,
just cause Mo doesnt answer people doesnt mean they are out of business, no one intelligent has ever said that....not to mention they literally just put out a new SC setup for the GS.although many have asked if they were. you can use the SRT with a Apexi or other piggyback btw

as he stated he has a GS430, K&N is for the GS400 (different MAF adaptor) and doesnt come with a ecu at all

If a business owner doesn't answer their phone or respond to emails, than they need to be out of business. period. end of discussion, no need to reply.

if you say so, although SRT is slow to get back to people they are indeed open (although i understand what your saying). i have called before and gotten someone and called before and not gotten someone its not a good business ethic but it is what they seem to do

I will say the phone number on their website is no longer in service.
I haven't had an email response in 3 weeks after sending one per week.

really too bad.

are there really no other intakes with piggyback ecu? Is there a viable option out there for better throttle response in the same price range?

thanks,
