Question Help - What next???

Hello,

Just installed the Blitz exhaust to my 98 GS400. Sounds pretty good. Quiet at idle. I feel that the power responsiveness actually gotten worse . I replaced all the gasket to ensure leakage. But still feel as if there's not enough pressure to sustance power. Will it help with intake ? or am I missing something. What I'm looking for is good sound with increase of power feel. Any advice???

i hate to say but i really wouldn't look to exhaust or intake for any substantial power. just too hard to "feel". get tc or lsd, those are more worth it

Rominl,

Actually I wasn't looking to increase a substantial power. I was hoping not to loose power and that how it feels like. I felt like a lost of pressure. Had it checked for leakage and everything was fine. I thought the exhaust may required intake or something that I'm missing. I was really looking for looks and sound, probably a slight increase of power. What should I expect if I get an intake?
