The chasis brace that I am ordering is supposed to look like this. It seems that your's does not have the front cross member peice, did you remove it? or did your's come without one. Is your rear brace for a >98GS or does it make a difference.

 

yea i was wondering that as well.. bishop please explain

 

i can get that kit

 

what's the rear? I know the front looks like NETZ but what about the rear? The closest thing I see is Egoist but it's kinda different. TELL me!:eek: :eek:

 

I agree Ray! We all want to know what the kit is... Please tell us Aristov3o0

 

HI98GS,

About the TOMS rear chassis brace, there are 2 that are available.

The closed end brace should be used with a TOMS exhaust. The open-end brace, the one I have installed, is usually used with all other aftermarket exhaust systems. This is due to the different specifications used by manufacturers. You may or may not run into problems. I'm not sure.

Here's my experience with it.
Before the TOMS exhaust, I had a POS Sheepdog exhaust and couldn't get the closed-end brace to fit. So I had the other one ordered and installed. It fit with no problems.........but.........the flanges where the "Y" pipe and the cannisters connect on my POS exhaust was hitting one of the control arms, which made a "clunk-clunk" sound going over bumps and rough roads.

With the TOMS exhaust, the connecting flange is located further back near the bends, before the cannisters.

So......I had the entire exhaust system replaced with the TOMS exhaust and have had no problems since. It was a great excuse to tell the wife why I had to get the TOMS exhaust too.

Hope you don't have the same problems.

 

I think i'll take a pic of my GS on the Stand with GReddy to see if it would fit... just a quesiton, why wouldnt the closed one fit with sheepdog? too high diamiter pipe?

 

Hi all,

wow, I like TOMS exhaust kit

Can I add it to my GS430? how dose it sounds?

Alkattan

 

kind of looks like the kazz kit. maybe skipper? :P

I can get n e kit out there but if n e one knows this kits name i can find out how much

 

It doesn't look like Skipper at all.

KAZZ makes bodykits?

Seems to be the car of the general manager or something from Jim Falk Lexus. Maybe someone would like to give them a call and ask the owner of the car. :eek:

 

of course KAZZ makes kits, but i just looked at it and thats not it :P

 

oh I thought you're talkin about the LSD maker KAAZ!

 

Richie,

The Aristo handles great now considering I have every suspension component offered in Japan. The only thing I would like to replace now are the coilovers.

alkattan,

The TOMS exhaust IMO are not as loud as the Sheepdog exhaust I had previously. But still noticeable. While under WOT.....does it matter? :eek:
Don't really know if it will fit the GS300/400/430 though.

 

So do we have a concensus of what this kit is an where we can get it?
