Question 2006 Gs430 Mods ???

I'm sorry if this was asked before but would the mods from a older GS be mods that would help the new gen get more power and speed. (LSD, Gears, Torque converter ) ???

From what I understand the Torque Converters should work with the 06. I believe an intake should work as well with the right pipe. And of course you can do an exhaust setup.

I would imagine it may be a few years before someone is willing to try lsd and tc on the 3rd gen gs.
The TC will kill your transmission warranty. Not sure how many owners would be willing to chance it with a new car and who knows what effects a TC and lsd would have on vdim. Sooner or later someone will do it but I think it will be later rather than sooner.

was wondering this myself.

I have not been able to find any intakes, exhausts, etc. for the '06 GS430.

Can anyone point to some of these?? Anyone have anything installed?

I am wondering the same thing about available performance mods for the 06 GS430. I have done some brief searching and nothing is really showing up. Does anyone have any good mods they can share?

Thanks!

Hey guys, the 05 GS430 injen intake fits on the 06 GS430, got it on mine. You can tell the different with the throttle response. Heres the link https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...=173504&page=4
