Looks like the MAF sensor is different for the GS350...

It is also different for the 450h (that's the only reason why the kit do not fit the 450h)

Another shot at the different Mass Air Sensor on the 450h: it doesn't fit :-(

If you guys buy a new intake,Be sure to wipe the inside of the tube.Some times there a metal shavings or dust .Just a heads up.

just sent my K&N drop in filter back and ordered me a Typhoon intake. I hope it delivers some noticeable response. In search of a nice exhaust system as well to fill in the rear.

UPDATE: I just installed mine today. Haven't taken it to the freeway to test out the response. I also got my first 5k miles service oil change as well.

Any recommendations for exhaust systems? I'm new to the JDM/Japanese Import side... Been Euro biased for the last 10yrs

Just installed mine about 15 minutes ago. Took it out for a quick spin and hit the freeway. This is a great mod, sounds really mean and I definately felt an all around performance increase. Super loud at high RPM, no noticble sound increase at cruising RPMs.

Thanks for the suggestions flipside909, I'm hoping to see and hear what some of those are like at the BOS3 this weekend.

I just installed mine. Pretty straightforward, but definitely a slight challenge taking off the OEM rubber hose at the throttle body. Also, it seems like I lost my convenience settings.
