i have lots of suggestion charles, i will just get into some but for more email me at LexusRules@hotmail.com

- professionally made high quality exhaust flow controller, bascially a silencer you can control from inside the car... if ur grandma is crusing with you and u wnat to tone it down for her you can just activate the system to add more backpressure and make it a bit more quite in the cabin, i belive some ricer company produced this but it wasn't very good quality or build at all...

- more intake systems.. i notice you started making them already just keep enlarging your application but keep the pipe quality and intake quality what we expect of greddy! and dont forget some good quality brackets!

- superchare turbo.. but email me for info about that oen

- ignition system.. something along the lines of the HKS TWIN POWER ignition.. me thinks they need a little compitition

- side skirts and rear lip package to match the gracer front lip

- GS 300 and GS 400 / 430 downpipes

- MAF replacement kits for 1998 and 1999 cars to get rid of these huge MAF that impeads air flow

email for more....

A complete add-on bodykit would be a great idea though GReddy Gracer is similiar with WALD Sport front lip IMHO.

Intake system would also be a good idea for cost-benefit. Lots of people use aftermarket intakes these days. It's cheap and looks good under the hood.

GReddy is most famous by its turbo application. I understand the market for forced induction GS is very limited. But it'd be nice for consumers if there are more options other than SRT, Area 51, and Toyomotor.

Finally, how about some piggy back ECU for V8 eh?

They already have one. It's called the E-Manage.

I would like some short tube style headers. Maybe even some type of cams or high flow intake manifold...I just want some extra HP natural only.
And yes also make a rear lip and side skirts to go with the front lip.

Definitely the sides and rear to match the front lip. NO fiberglass please. Polyurethane is so much better.

Intake systems

exhaust systems ( I like the exhaust flow controller idea)

A forced induction system which is street legal, safe and reliable for a daily driven vehicle (include intercooler). Keep in mind that most drivers are looking for higher performance in their car without turning it into a full blown race track vehicle.

Make all of the above affordable

BTW I have the GS 300 1999

You are one greedy man. High performance with low cost.

1. A computer chip to control engine management, similar to what AUDI owners can buy from $400 and up to increase performance. (is e-manage the same thing?)

2. Black out headlights would be GREAT! Maybe different tailights too.

3. REAL aluminum trim bits for the interior.

4. Headers for the GS (is this possible, I checked the site?).

5. STB for the GS 300 and 430 WITHOUT having to take off the engine cover

BTWm do you have those Cima headlights yet ?

since GReddy has so many turbo kits that are legal, why not one for GS300 and GS400/430

I would like to see the 2nd version of the front lip, needs to have more ground clearance. Current one is too low. Maybe add some holes to it

You would certainly corner the market with GS4 headers. Also, pipes to replace the pre-cats, and maybe a high-flow cat as well.

Do you intend on making the E-Manage available for an 8 cylinder?

Charles GReddy-

I recently inquired to the sales deparmtent about purchasing a Power extreme (PE) exhaust for a 90-94 LS400. The PE is only made for the GS and IS sedans I belive. I'd like to see the PE made for al LS400's.
