Question Looking for intake ideas

I've read about the SRT but I don't want my car be modded but still have that Lexus luxury sound and style. What are some of the quieter intake systems?

K&N. bitkahuna has it. If you don't have an exhaust, it won't be as noticeable.

K&N or injen are your best choices...

Thanks guys, that's the way I think I'll go. My cousin has a K&N on his Tahoe.

I can't either. The only thin I can find is a Injen intake system for the GS430.

K&N never made a 430 intake, RMM is another option.

LXOGOOD - Not to change to subject but how's is your TC at 3000? Is it worth it, I was told TC's wouldn't work well in GS3's.

I read that the SRT sounds very loud in the cabins of the GS4's. More than a few people from what I read got rid of them, because they were too loud. FYI

If the SRT is your only mod you may feel it's too loud. When I switched from the K&N to the SRT recently I could not tell the difference - the sound increase is still below the level of my exhaust.

To me, the intake noise level wasn't a problem, and I only heard it when I mashed the gas at WOT. Didn't really hear any difference driving around town, or at cruising speed, especially with the radio on. I liked it because when I hit the gas hard, it gave a healthy grunt (to me), as would any intake you install.

What about akimoto intake are they loud too.
I'm looking for a quiet intake too. I'm planning to get borla exhaust because I heard they are the quietest one out there, is that true guys..
