Default GS430 + Injen Intake + Megan Mid pipe + HKS exhaust

Parts :
- SC430/01-05 GS430 Injen Intake
- GS350 Megan mid pipe - will work without the exhaust heat shield or modify it.
- HKS exhaust

pardon me for poor quality of the sounds, recorded from Note3. i will add another video later when socal_450h can record it.

Thanks for giving a heads up that the mid-pipe can fit on our gs430. I will consider that as my "to do" mod list. Lol, love the clip man... Looking forward for future clips.

Nice deep tone, does the intake fit without modification? Any error lights ever come up?

Do you have a link to that exhaust? I recently bought a 2006 GS430 and I want to make it a tad louder. I've been looking for an exhaust but its hard to find anything for this car unless I am just really bad at finding car parts . Your exhaust sounds very nice!

Rather than to make a new thread, I figured to make an exhaust clip relating to members who have similar mods as me. I am not thread-jacking, just currently adding more resources to this existing thread. Thank you again masboy for answering all my questions and making way for us 430 boys.

Clip is taken close to midnight because I wanted to hear more clarity of the exhaust note rather than hearing daytime noise and traffic. I was CLOSE in purchasing an Invidia mp, but didn't like the built-in resonator. I would rather just delete the entire thing so 2K Racing made me a custom one deleting secondary cats & resonator. I am very pleased with the outcome and makes me wanna drive more to enjoy the V8 purr. Short 15 seconds clip but any resource is better than none.

I've heard it in person, it's similar to a G35 w/ an upgraded exhaust. Searched it on YouTube and came up with this...


I might do a drive-by vid soon on my 430, just waiting on my brother to come through.
