Default New Injen intake/Spark plugs

Well,

I would like to say after new spark plugs and my Injen intake installed last night in my gs430 all i have to say was wow. I read alot on here that people say you lose launch/low end power i would have to disagree i feel alot of difference no CEL car breathes better and it actually respond a little bit better. I was running the car for atleast 30 and after every run i let it idle for another 5-10 min and it perform the same way so i think heat soak dont play alot of roll in this case. Just letting you guys know who wants to put an intake in your car if you wanna save money go with the Injen intake and for us Cali people its carb legal.

I completely agree with your post, I installed the same intake on Sunday and noticed a nice increase in response and acceleration. Spark plugs are next on the list

SEMA sounds like a blast!

Btw you may wanna cut the hoses a little but, 2 of mine were a couple inches too long and also shave the corner of your engine cover to it doesnt butt up against the intake tube.
