What kind of Intake should I look into getting for my 2001 GS 430?

 

Welcome to Clublexus. I moved your thread here. I also did a search under intake/GS forum and got this

All the info u need.

 

SRT I heard is the best...but before you look into getting an intake...just make sure you do some research first so you dont have regrets...cuz some intakes are noisy and to be honest....you can only feel a small difference as far as hp wise...if i had a gs430....I would look into the torque converter and lsd and my performance mods...from what I hear...those are the 2 main performance mods if you want to stay n/a....but if you want to actually REALLY feel the difference....then you gotta go with FI

 

Agree. some of those intakes can actually take away power on the low end (had an RMM on my GS300 - complete waste of money ) and others have issues with noise. Short of FI, TC and LSD make a big difference. I just wish there were no cel issues with the TC on a 430. So far, I hear black tape over the light is about the only fix

 

Any body else have any opinions I read that the SRT says it gains u 30 HP and 40 lb. torque, is that true and is it really worth $600

 

no way

 

this is promote the product..reality is a different story..dont get me wrong tho...I heard the srt intake is the best one when it comes to overall gain of hp. but I stil cant justify getting an intake...I like the quietness of lexus....yes i do have an exhaust...but I got the exhaust because of looks, sounds, fitment....not really looking to increase hp...imo its not worth it....save it up towards the FI fund

 

There may be FI options for the gs400,300 - but (based on what I've read here) I don't think there are any FI options for the gs430 short of having something custom made.
