Can't get an exact answer and the sales at Lexus said it can not work. I kinda have a clue that it will definitely fit the design is identical to the stock air box shape and is 98% sure that it will work let me know what you think thanks

Was told from dealer parts guy will not work the edge on the filter is round or something like that .it cannot work. It would be good if other members would stop misleading people saying it will work and it definitely can't

Please stop accusing of people misleading. That's not what most people are here to do on the forum.

I personally know an owner on these forums that bought it for his GS and it fit just fine.

Since you personally know a member on here who has it then there should be no problem to get a part number for reference?

I have a 13' GS350 F-SPORT and i was trying to install the f-sport intake on it and like boostinsc said it WILL NOT FIT....the filter is bigger than the airbox itself. Hope this helps, If you would like i can post pictures when i get a chance to better explain what i am trying to say.

Thanks,
Spandan

I found online somewhere that Lexus claims it will work on all GS

I'm interested in knowing this also but it still doesn't seem definitive to me. I'm hoping for some pictures from Spandan18.

Use the search bar and look for a member by the name of biggame. He should be able to help you with your questions you might have.

Do you have the entire f-sport intake or just the filter? The Sewell ad is for the entire system although it does say that you reuse the top of your intake box.

Just tried this on my 2016, and although the Fsport filter will fit into the airbox, the lid will not close completely. The problem is the OEM filter has squared edges and the Fsport filter has rounded edges. I attached pics to show what I'm talking about. I suppose you could force the lid close, but I wasn't about to do that. Again, this is for a 2016... other year models may be different. YMMV.

Thanks for the pics.

Myth busted...BOO!!! It looks as though the F Sport filter's outer edge is just a tad bit bigger overall to seat properly.

I wonder if the blitz filter is the same exact design since they make the F Sport ones for Lexus.


Quick Reply: Does the blue f sport air filter fit the GS350 air box or Not?
