Op, Are you looking to make you GS4 faster? Obviosly if you are looking at the intake then yes, but are you doing anything else? If I where you, id save for coilovers, something that will make a big difference.

I dont know about springs,, If you dont want to get an aggresive drop, go for it.. I like to drive LOW, thats why I have air suspension TTE lip looks very good, as Im sure you have seen another sb member's ride here.. I dont know much about exhausts, as Ive never dealt with them.

I think you should save for quality parts and not throw whatever on the car.. Seem like you are so

I've seen that too, but atleast the people that post girl's or wifey's ride is because that's basicly theirs too. Not sister, mom, brother, etc...

I thought the purpose of a signature was for individuality and own style, but I guess not to everyone.

Wow, got kinda gay up in here.

Hey OP, get what YOU like. It kinda sounds like you want others to build your car.
Just do yourself a favor and get quality or you will be replacing/upgrading that same part again sooner then you may have wanted to.

Apexi makes all quality products. They don't make one bad thing that I know of :edit: old school apexi GT intercooler didn't let enough air to radiators:edit:
Their exhausts are great, dampers fantastic and power FC is sweet.

You have a V8, get coils first like everyone said, and some Daizen bushings. TTE lips are the shiznite, just make sure you bumper looks as good.

COILOVERS!!!

i have that intake on my car. quiet around town and roars when you put your foot down. i dont know if it made any power gains, but it sure feels stronger. [im not ruling out the placebo effect] oh yeah, no check engine light either. the kicker is hearing the VVTi switchover. coming from a handful VTEC Hondas, i was surprised when i first heard it. VTAAAAAKKKKKKKK!!!

FYI: There's no VVTi or V-TAK switchover lol. The VVTi is continuously variable, so there's no sudden kick. There is an on/off type ACIS (Acoustic Controlled Induction System) valve in the intake runners that activates at around 4500 rpm. This effectively changes the runners from short runners to long runners. This allows more torque at lower rpm and more power at higher rpm.

Hey OP, not trying to be an a** or anything, but you should really chill out with the threads and just search. Every single thread that youve posted so far has been covered. Just SEARCH. If you have a question every once in awhile, then sure post it up and we can help out, but dont post up multiple threads all at once. It clutters up the forum and annoys everyone.

And these threads you post up asking what we think, you should just do what you like. Dont go by what others like. I know most people here do the same thing, but its important that you like what youre doing to your car too. I am guilty of doing this as well, but its only when I really dont know what to do. After searching long and hard, if I really dont know what to do or understand something, then Ill post a thread asking about it.

Good luck.

PS: learn how to multi quote. Click the button with the quotations on it and then click "quote" on the last quote you want to use.
