any progress on getting this out yet?

Also, what's the difference in your intake and the fsport intake available on sewell parts?

Yes, the Project is still a GO..

We are letting member "a6s" run the prototype exhaust a couple of more weeks to have some fun with it...

Since our fabrication shop is VERY BUSY at the moment.. We plan to have systems ready by end of June I hope..
(Busy w/ PTS - LS460 Axle back Exhausts in production)

NOW - The difference on intakes...

I released MY design for the IS350 back in 2006.... F-Sport released theirs in 2008..

Theoretically, the current intake pipe design I have will work on the new 2013 GS.. We just have to finish some more testing on it..

Best Regards,

Joe Z

So far.. I'm sure I know that the Full System will not work on an AWD for a few reasons...

I won't be able to confirm until I get an AWD on our lift here in SoCal..
(AWD's are not common around here)

WE will however, have an exhaust backup plan for the AWD owners ..

Just saw Mike over at Vossen get his hands on your intake labelled for the new GS. Any idea on a release for that as well? And if so, will it be at the same price point as your previous offerings?

Yes the price point will be the same... Naturally..

I will aim to have the same release time frame as the exhaust(s)

We are in NO RUSH to release these parts until R&D is 100% completed and Production of Finalized products have begun...

Mike wanted to be "Special"

Wow, at first I wasnt going to put an exhaust system on this car and keep it mostly stock. But after hearing that exhaust system, Im interested. LOL. One question tho, a6s did mention it but is this system really loud? Videos never really capture the true sound of an exhaust and intake. I dont want my parents to think itll b loud. But i want sumthing louder then stock. Also does this system cause any vibrations while sitting in the back seats? Cuz before my old car an Mazda 6, u can fill an vibration alittle from the mufflers while sitting in the back seat. I know Lexus is an whole different league compared to Mazda. Just wondering. Thanks. Definetly will most likely b on the GB. LOL. Getting sum Vossen CV3's first!!!!

excuse my ignorance, but what difference would there be between a full system and the "exhaust back up plan" for the AWD owners (like myself)? less added hp? less sound? let me know. thanks.
