SEARCH is your friend

But anyways, I've got one on my GS430. Power wise I really don't notice much, but the MPG's are slightly better (1 mpg or so).

Yes, I added one to my GS3 and my X5 4.4. They are just as good as the TRD.
This mod is usually the first I do on any vehicle.
1. It helps with the air flow
2. You can reuse it forever helping with reducing waste, and saves you $$.

i have one in my gs430....i didnt notice much but i know k&n works....butt dyno failed me on this one or maybe since it was the first thing i did i never noticed changes

i think mods should limit new people to their first post having to be approved. would help keep repeats and clutter down. just my opinion.

I'm a firm believer in K&Ns. I just got sick of cleaning/reoiling so i bought a blitz LM filter from one of the forum sponsors, dry element and works just as good.

to refine your search put quotation for "exact match"...Also notice that there is a forum search and a sub-forum search.

I've got an SRT...shoulda done a drop in...less hassle if you are in CA.

If you live in CA, you have to remove the SRT+ECU when you get your car smogged. I will be doing an SRT+NEO+Headers...waiting to see how it goes. I'm still trying to figure out why my car doesn't go with the SRT at WOT. The power is there when I step on the pedal slowly... -- so there is something there, just can't figure it out.

When the Dyno shows that the SRT actually loses power, it'll go in the for sale section


You can get an SRT+ECU in the club members section for cheap.
