where can i buy one besides the dealer and also would i have to replace the intake manifold gasket?? since i have to take that off to replace it..?

Most parts stores sell gaskets for almost all Lexus models.. Check with your local parts store. And yes, i would replace the throttle body gasket, and the gasket for the first part of the intake plenum. If youre going to have it all apart, you might want to consider spark plugs and wires at the same time.

Im not sure about aftermarket wires for the SC3, thats really not my game, but im sure there are some out there. Personally, i would stick with a set of OEM wires, plugs, and gaskets.. only because you know they're going to fit right the first time and work properly.
