Congrats on your new mods!

Suggestions? Yes - many of them. The first suggestion is to better define what it is you want to enhance about your car...

- better handling?
- faster / better launches?
- better gas mileage??
- improve looks with aero kit or grill?
- better sound system?

There are just TOO many things you can do, start by refining your priorites.

I suggest you start by reading this thread -->Click here

Does K&N make a ram air for the GS 300? If so, how well does it perform and where can I get one on line.

there is no ecu or other upgrade on the kn ram air. i believe you can use the same on a gs 300 . go to the kn web site to buy/ check. and i want the car to go faster and handle better. it looks good as it is and the nakamichi stereo is fin for my tastes(news radio).ps i have no pics its -20 here

No loss of low end torque or performance with the new intake?

It might happen though when it gets warmer as your unshielded intake begins to suck in hot engine air.

Do you leave the stock intake pipe from the top of the radiator that goes down to the stock airbox (which is removed of course) in place? If so, I'm assuming this would still feed cold air from outside to the FIPK?

Thanks!

Must ask again, any down side noted from this intake yet? Do you like the construction quality? I think if I get an intake, this is the one I'm going to get.

barry,

quick question...did you have the intake installed at the same time as the suspension components you described? it wasn't clear to me when reading your initial post.

thanks,
jonathan
