F Sport intake is 100% trash. Its makes as much noise as the stock set up. Buy it if you want to give Lexus 400 dollars for a drop in filter with a aluminum pipe.


What a waste!!!


Sped your money on an intake that you will actually hear. Lexus doesnt deserve the money on this one

The Mishimoto intake will not work in a GS350 due to difference of the MAF sensor with the GS300. I actually test fitted that same intake a while back, but didn't post my finding at their request.

How long have you had it? Doesn't throw any codes like some other intakes?

the mishimoto only fits the Gs300, i tried it on my 350 but the maf holes are TOTALLY different. I guess you can somehow mod it to fit. It's a cool intake. If it fit my 350 i would have kept it =P.

It doesn't throw any codes or anything.

i'm guessing if you can get someone to machine you an adaptor it will fit.
