SRT Intake Install

Looking for reasons to why you, a Lexus Driver, has(ve) installed a SRT intake system into your engine.

Please state Pro's and the Con's of installing one.

Price ranges
Why I should install one?
Is it magic?

I finally convinced my dad to let me install one, but he wants to know more information on it, and so do I. Please help me out here =] Thanks!

More than likely due to you gunning it every chance you get. I know of several GS owners with the SRT intake. They love the sound of it...therefore they gun it every chance they have lol.

Nah, I drive it like normal. I actually hate half assing the gas pedal with the SRT. It gets annoying (the sound; I get used to it), but with a passenger in the car they think the car is ****ed. It sounds like a deisel truck.
