Default New 02' GS430 owner in AZ.........

I picked up this 02 GS430, 41K, Black on Black on Thanksgiving and thanks to you all........the bank account is going in the wrong direction. I've been driving my 04' Tacoma around for the last 2 years, dumping a bunch of money into that and I finally have realized its time for some luxery. I am a member of customtacos.com and learned a lot from those guys over the years so I am sure I'll learn lots from the members here as well. I've included some shots of my Tacoma that made there calandar this year.

Here are some pics I took this morning after i Zainoed that crap out of her yesterday. All the mods I've done so far are in my signature.

Welcome to CL! We're glad to have another member here in AZ. Got to love the black on black combo.

I was thinking of doing that same intake on my GS4. How much louder is it? I know that might be hard to tell given the exhaust change, but how loud is the ride from the inside of the car? Definitely a quality ride!

The intake is relatively quiet during normal acceleration and cruising but when you get on it.....very nice tone. If there are any meets....I'll let you take it for a spin to hear/feel it for yourself
