You would have better luck in the "Performance" 2GS subforum (For future reference subjects of this nature should be posted there), but I would say SRT intake or OBX headers.

Good Luck !

For $600 you can look into getting the intake system, for starter.

IMO, the best increase in performance is going to come from an SRT intake or Mazzuri Headers. Exhaust is nice but really just makes small gains and a little noise.

Mazzuri Super Headers
http://www.mazzurisuper.com/

I'm not sure he has any in stock, you might want to give him a call or send a PM. He's on the site.

SRT Intake

You might be able to find either one of these in the classified section if you're willing to be patient.

To get some gains, you can do Exhaust, Headers, and intake. Anything more and your going to either have to swap or go Na-T

Unfortunately, Daniel (owner of Mazzuri) closed down a couple months back for personal reasons. It was very unfortunate, as he had just released the v2header, which made even more power and torque. The only ones available are a few IS300 owners who bought them right when they came out.

i would put the money into suspension...because with 600 bucks your not really going to do anything to make you go noticeable faster...but..if you got some sway bars...or something like that...its something you could tell much more of a differance

Hmm, interesting. When people tell you to do things like that, you get mad. But you do it to other people? hmm.

Well everyone is trying to tell YOU what THEY would do. but whatever.


mjl_rasta- I say best bet is to go with the SRT intake. if not, K&N with a NEO
