It was a factory option. I don't work for lexus so I don't know how. Why don't you email the company and ask for a detailed breakdown of what they did. And 1,000 is what the customer paid extra.. I don't think that lexus made any money off of this.

alright. I was told by the lexus dealer a couple of years ago that this was a package. Whatever. I don't care enough about it for this to continue. It's a very nice car.

They were probably telling you about the L-tuned packages...it's WAY more than a grand..and you can get different stages...the most hp you'll get from any is an L-tuned exhaust (cat-back) everything else is pretty much suspension and looks.

Manual 350 vs GS400/430 close call my vote G no effort just press the gas and go, auto 350 vs GS GS hands down.

well i had everything that you just mentioned on mine, and no, it didnt give the results that you quoted. my best dyno with all of the above mentioned components was 248/267. now i dont have a before dyno, but i seriously doubt that i was putting down a little over 200 hp stock.

dr. Rick, I just saw you profile picture, I am going to assume that since you have a pic of an atlas/axis (C1/C2) and go by "Dr Rick" that you are a Chiro??
