Default Upgrades for 2010 gs350

Well have had the car for 2 months. At this point I'm in a love hate relationship with the car. Not so comfy seats for long cruising and lack of power my major points. I put a 150-200 miles a day on my car.

I have read tuning chips are out of the picture. At this time I am considering the Tanabe medallion exhaust with invidia mid pipes, From what Ive read the drone can be annoying to some on the highway. Ive read a few reviews that mention the performance or HP gain is non existent ?

I also want to do the INGEN air intake since Volant doesn't make one for this vehicle. im fond of there product, Other than that its sway bars and suspension. I'm just wondering if I should focus on the suspension first and then exhaust.

I know there is an immense amount of information on this site and have been reading away for sometime now.

Any input on performance and handling increases is appreciated.

Do the suspension and sway bar at the same time just easier and should cost you a little less. Exhaust I would do last, it will have that sound but the cars handling will be the best cause you will love the car a lot more, its what the GS is missing.

Thanks for the response. I have to agree with having better road feel and handling every car I have upgraded suspension on Ive loved more.

So is Fsport suspension for the one inch drop with sways and then a cold air intake the best route? I'm not sure if I will keep this car after I put another 40k on it. The air conditioned seats are what sold me but its not the same Lazy boy feel, I get from my Denali. TOUGH COMPARISON

Make your next GS a 460 and you won't have to worry about power.

The exhaust drone can be eliminated with some excellent sound deadening products such as secondskinaudio sound deadener.I cannot wait to deaden my GS even more.

Yes the drop is very conservative and the intake I think is really worthless, there are better ones out there. Yeah the A/C seats are good but they get warm after a while due to the motor. I think once you add these mods you will be really happy with the GS.
