So what is the best set up for basic performance upgrade for my GS300? Im thinking of these mods:
- Aftermarket Intake (CAI) or a hi flow drop in filter
- Exhaust system
- SAFC
Anything to look out when performing these mods?

The name should tell you everything you need to know. Sooner or later a check engine light is going to turn up, most likely when the weather gets cooler and the air is more oxygen dense. The fact the guy got the intake for $20 shipped should tell you something, just do a search for GS300 intakes and you will see thread after thread of people trying to skimp and buying a cheap intake only to cause problems with their car down the road. The history of cheap intakes speaks for itself, I don't know if I would go to someone for advice on "sooping" up my car who just bought a $7 intake and judges it's "amazing" performance based on it being louder than a Mustang.

I agree. I have purchased a long time ago mufflers and intake from ebay and it was complete ****! exactly right about the CEL it came on and I had to rip the whole thing out and put my stock box back on. The mufflers is a whole nother story! the Welds from the hangers ATE through the actual canisters and I have 2 big *** holes on each side of the mufflers. EBAY is BAAAAAAAAD for the our cars unless your buying brand name. but you will still be able to find cheaper through other websites.
