Not really. The old ClubLexus intake dyno test was never done with the SRT with ECU installed, which is the only way it is sold and the intake was never supposed to be use w/o ECU. I'd also really like to see other intakes like the Injen and K&N tested in combination with a SAFC to see how they would compare to the SRT w/ ECU.

Default Back to K&N FIPK for GS430

Originally posted by RocketSlug
Yes, they do. There were pictures on this very site before. K&N's website is not very updated.
Several months ago we had this dialog which seemed to confirm the existence of a K&N FIPK for the GS430. I still can't find this on K&N's Web site, so I've sent an email to their NA Sales asking for a part number. While I'm waiting for a reply, does anyone else have the part # handy?

As long as I'm on the topic, I have a few questions about the FIPK for those who have it. My interest has been renewed by putting Dinan stage 2 performance software and CAI on my wife's BMW Z3. The intake has given that car a wicked SNARL in the mid-to-high RPM range that is absolutely intoxicating! I started thinking that if I could get something similar out of my GS, that's be great! So how does the FIPK change the sound of the GS4? Is the sound change obnoxious or just a nice enhancement to the engine's normal sound? Is the sound change across the entire rev range or only when you're really pushing the engine? VERY important question: does the FIPK have any whistling or is it just a SNARL or GROWL?

Thanks in advance for any info!
Scott

Okay, I just got the following response from K&N:

Scott,

At this time we have not released a performance intake kit for your vehicle. If you'd like to be notified if/when a kit is released for your vehicle, please visit our "product request" page at www.knfilterchargers.com/products_needed/ and take a minute and fill out the form. You will be notified via E-mail when a product is released. (The system will automatically send you an e-mail with all current products available or confirmation that we do not have what you are looking for, and future e-mails will be sent if new products become available in the future).

Thanks for writing,
K&N Customer Service
So now I'm really confused since there are folks on this site stating that they have this actual part. Can anyone clarify? If not K&N, is Injen the way to go if I don't want to splice into my wiring a la SRT?

www.rodmillenstore.com
phone 1-714-847-2158
It says it is $335 plus shipping
worth it since you can clean the filter over and over stock filter 20-50
plus the car sounds better.

Are you getting any whistling at lower RPMs or just a better growl at the high end? Any regrets about the intake or overall happy with it?

I know I'm like 12 years late to this party, but K&N makes a kit for the GS400, but still shows no listing for the GS430.

I still have my Injen intake (posted on here 12 years ago.) I'm sure it needs a new filter, well more for looks than anything else, but if you're in Hawaii, shipping would be nuts. If you just want to use the existing intake and get a new panel filter, I would measure it because it might be a common Toyota size. I would email K&N. . I'm pretty sure the panel filters are the same across the 98 - 2004/5 timeframe.

I have my RMM short ram for sale if you're looking

Other than that, Injen, HPS and SRT are the only ones I can think of and I wouldn't do business with SRT under any circumstance. I don't know of anyone using the HPS, but the Injen is pretty well-liked from those who have it.

Hey RocketSlug

I know it's been a few months but do you still have your Injen Intake? If so do you have pictures and what would shipping be to Canada?
Thanks man

Hey NorthStyle

Do you still have your RMM Intake for sale for a 2003 gs430? If so do you have pictures and what would shipping be to Canada?
Thanks
