Default Short Ram and my car

Hi every body. I am new here and I have owned a lexus IS250 for 6 months now. It is black with black leather. I have the ML and it is 6 speed manual. I was now thinking of getting a new intake and i dont know which one I should pick. I would like to get some adwises on which one is the best.
I am from iceland and this is the first manual lexus and te first with the navi and taouch screen. It has the Luxury package. The only thing that its missing is the sunroof but i wanted the screen more. The budged didnt allow to get everything.

Here are some pics of my car.

Search the forum for terms like "intake", "LMS", "Fujita", or "JoeZ". There is plenty of discussion!

As to which is better, that is the subject of ongoing debate. In fact, Fujita is supposed to be performing a comparison today.

Yup -

just keep watching this thread:

intake comp

Fujita is doing a comparsion between it's product, the stock setup, and the JOEZ pipe and will be posting results using a CL member's car. Should be interesting.

If you had to buy today most people would recommand the JOEZ pipe for performance. A few people have reported the LMS, although it sounds aggressive, loses power.

You're location says you're from USA. We've been getting a lot of international guests and we're always happy to hear from Lexus owners outside the States.

By the way, do you know why it's called Iceland when it's very green and lush, whereas Greenland is covered in ice?

It was called Iceland so it wouldn attract people to it. The vikings that gave it the name wanted to have it all to them selves.
