Default Adding HP to the GS350... No such luck

I went to several places today to add headers, intake and so on. Besides adding turbo or some thing like that there are no headers for this car, the intake is pointless and exhaust is $1300.00 for not much more HP. It seems nothing is really made for this car yet. ERRRR!

I really doubt the aftermarket manufactures are going to develop alot for this car. Think about how many people driving around a GS350 are really going to fix it up like a Civic, very minimal. I would race every car I pulled up next to at a red light, but chances are I would probably get into a race once a year.

Errr....... this car just came out, what did you expect?

After market support always takes time. I would give it a few years and then you will see some mods for it.

A few years? Heck I might trade it in by then.

You should have got a 06 gs 430,Put another 10gs for super charger from L tuned.Get a speed shop to make you custom made headers.Speed is a matter of money,How fast you want to go?

It's coming very soon. The vehicle is very very new. Not many want to add any kind of F.I yet. Plus you will need to give us sometime to do some R&D .

This may or not make a difference, but I would think there would be mods available for the IS 350 (same engine, right?!)

For an easy 50 hp right now, the simplest bet is nitrous. Run a 50 shot wet kit and it will be safe and reliable. Unlike with forced induction, you can shut off the nitrous completely on the regular commute to conserve gas.
