Just got PI TC installed
All I can say is " I should have started this as my 1st mod". I'm all grins from ear to ear. Makes my L-Tuned exhaust really stand out now. 
I did the 1st thing others have done, which is stopped at light and once green I got on it and spun the tires w/o power braking.
just have to connect the 2 tubes from the hayden tanny cooler to radiator.

Man it's like dating a virgin again. Well that was a bad comparison but you get the idea.
It's better all the way around.

Even better I got it all installed for $200.00 bucks.

Have you done any city traffic stop-n-go driving yet? I had my Lexus mechanic tell me he did this mod to a SC and it hurt (somewhat degraded) it drivability in heavy stop-n-go traffic.
You did the right thing by getting the tranny cooler...smart.

As far as city driving goes. it's only been short trips but I'll keep ya updated.

Glad to hear you did the mod. It's way cool for a heavy car like the GS and the modest gearing it comes with.
You're gas mileage is going to go down noticeably for the first month or two because it's just SO MUCH FUN!
Oh, ditto on the "smart move" of the tranny cooler. Get that bad boy hooked up and start saving for a new set of tires!

Happy burn outs
dsouth - congrats. Biggest grin factor mod as you've discovered.
The next step is the Supra LSD cuz that keeps the traction in balance and the VSC from piping up. And the gearing makes the car even quicker.
