hi .. thanks for the info on the exhausts. i'm looking for an intake system now. i have a 98 gs 300 but it seems like their is more intakes for the 400/430 than the 300. i've searched threw yahoo and only found one site the supra store that had the intake for a 300 but it was red and like 700 bucks. r their any sites u guys could lead me too so i can find more options hopefully in chrome and spectra blue to match the car

 

Hey you can check RMM for it. They have a sport intake for the 300 http://www.rodmillenstore.com/gs_400/price_engine.htm and you can hear what it sounds like http://www.rodmillenstore.com/gs_400/gssound3.htm . Hope that helps.

 

You go here....Swift Racing.... You can the Intake and Piggyback ECU for about $550.

Or you can go here... Weapon-R I think it's about $200. with no ECU.....

 

Here's my Weapon-R with Cold Air-Box.. On my GS300....

 

Sorry, this one you can see.....

 

what was the cost of your set up and can u get it in blue or it has to b red

 

MrSyper, How do you like your Weapon Intake?

 

BlueLex, Weapon-R has the filter and fittings in Blue also.. I had them customize that filter for me so it would match with my enginebay... I'm sure if you ask they'll do it for you too... As for the Box, it's totally custom... I forgot what the total cost was... Somewhere around $400. not including what was done after...

 

It could be alot better if I had a piggyback ECU from Weapon-R but theirs has some bugs and it wouldn't be a good idea to purchase one till they fixed the problems.. Or a S-AFC so I could change the air/fuel ratio... Then I'd be getting the most out of the Intake... But for now it's ok and I'm not stressing it since my SRT turbo will be going in sometime this Spring... If you like my set-up keep an eye open at the Classifed Forum.. It'll be there sooner or later...

 

MrSypher - good information and nice pics. What happens to the connections for smog on the factory intake when installing the Weapon R. I just purchased a 2003 lexus GS300 and want to 'nix the factory air intake but need to come up to speed on the "right" way to bypass everything. Is there technical documentation on all this somewhere [or possibly a Lexus mechanic out there?]. Thanks.... Rocklings

 

Rockling, first off Welcome to the club and congrats on your new purchase..

Now for yer question.. With these intakes you don't have to bypass anything.. It's mainly just taking the stock box out and disconecting the the hoses and AF sensor... Then with that aftermarket Intake you just put the AF Sensor into the pipe and connect the new hoses to there proper locations... That's it for the Intake.. As for the Piggyback ECU, you need to just tap in to some wires... You only need to cut one wire and the rest are just sodered into the others... Both things are a breeeze and you shouldn't have any problems doing it all yourself... Hope this helps..

 

MrSypher, thanks for the welcome and update. This Lexus forum is the best I've found to get up to speed on the latest mods... I'm getting my windows tinted in two weeks and now need to start asking some questions out to those who have had different tints and see what looks the best. I don't want something too dark and my car is M-silver. I've already seen a 15% and it looks pretty close to what I want.... take care - rocklings

 

Please don't mind I'm about to post another pic of my GS... I also have Mil-Silver with 15% tint... Here's what your will look like, minus all the mods...

 

They look darker than they really are.. Not terribly dark when you can't see in at all.. But dark enough so you can't tell who's in the car...

 

MrSypher - lookin' good. I should go with 15% and get the same effect/. Thanks again... rocklings
