Is that SC Kit approved by the California Air Resources Board? Just curious, I do know that if it is CARB approved Lexus cannot void your warranty. Also you might have a problem the next time you go in for a smog check. Modified air intake.

It isn't carb aproved but im pretty sure they are trying to get it done. As far as the smog check... I have a few buddies that have their own smog shops 
My warranty is going to be over pretty soon anyway so Im not too worried about getting it voided (i have over 30,000 miles) Im more than half way there.

Yea.. I drive way too much! I also drive out to vegas and frisco a lot.
They are planning on doing GS300 with the same type of kit. I dont think there would be much difference. Im sure now that they are selling the kits for the IS, that you could get one on a GS300. You should give them a call if your interested. 949.472.6320
