Default New Owner 2006 GS300

Hello folks, just got my first Lexus. Got what I felt like to be a great deal on a 2006 Lexus GS300 w/ navi... 90K miles ($17K -- $20K out the door with taxes and the like). This was an upgrade from my 2000 Toyota Avalon with 320K miles on it.

Didn't do a whole lot of research on the car before buying it, just new I loved the look of the car and the deal was about $5K under blue book. I have to admit, I am not a fan of the old navigation or the lack of integration with my iPhone, even after getting the viastech module.

That being said, I would like to do some mods to add some extra power. I have seen many posts on the site for performance parts and have followed the threads around looking at what everyone has recommended. Only a small issue with that approach, seems like a lot of the recommended upgrades/parts are not being sold anymore. Any input or updates on where to look would be greatly appreciated. (already been to l-tuned).

The only parts I have found available have been:
DC SPORTS Short RAM Intake (haven't seen any reviews)
Invidia Mid-Pipe
Invidia & Tanabe cat back - I'd like something that is throaty when I get in it, not all the time

I am not new to the performance tuning realm, just to the Lexus aspect of it. At the end of the day I know there is "no replacement for displacement" and have no dreams of bolting on anything that will put me near the gs350 specs.
