Hi everyone. I just picked up a 99 GS4 and have been reading about the various intakes. I want to know if anyone has verified the hp increase claim of +30hp and +40 tq on the SRT Intake with ECU? Dyno numbers would be preferable.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Congrats on your new GS bmc and welcome to CLubLexus
If you'll try the search feature of our forum you'll find LOTS of discussion on that topic.
General consensus is that the numbers quoted are optimistic, but most do see some decent increases. A couple have come close to hitting those numbers.
For example, I searched for 'srt intake claim' or 'srt intake dyno' and found these threads
keep in mind the dynos are RWHP and I think their claims are 'crank'.

Question is do you want to treat your Lexus like a Mustang or Camaro by adding a chip? I have had some bad experiences with aftermarket chips hurting my cars in the long run and I don't entirely trust the filters on these intakes either...
or at least not in a $50K car that hopes to see 200,000 miles.
