Default Gains from a FSport Intake & Exhaust

So I was just curious at what kind of gains do you get with this setup. I know it can't be that much, but just curious. I'm thinking about picking up both of these soon for my 2010, thanks in advance.

Goodness, lol oh well at least it sounds nice. I was searching around and found a thread where many just suggest buying the is350 for an extra 102hp. Sounds like the best performance mod BUT i wanted an AWD car. Had the 350 came in AWD, I would have been all over it.

Yeah someone I know had an X package IS with the fsport exhaust, sounds amazing. Didn't think I would have wanted it on my car but it wasn't obnoxious, it sounded somewhat calmt but yet deep and on WOT sounded very nice. I'm prolly gonna add it on in a few months.

Buddy at work says the same thing as you, he owns a IS300. But over the course of owning my 2007 Lexus 250, (returned, lease was up) I never got stuck once in snow. This past winter I saw BMW's, left and right stuck. My old boss owned a 335XI, would never drive his car in snow but then again he always drove stupid, and had the twin turbo.... soooooooooo yeah.... your prolly right. I guess getting Snow tires help too.. all I can say is since owning the AWD, I never got stuck in 3 years, but thats me, and I unfort don't own a 350....yet

actually from what i read on here with the intake/exhaust combo, you get around 12ish hp gain, still nothing you can actually feel, but in case that makes you feel better than 6-7

Here is another question, I was looking for pics of the wing or what you call it. The piece that goes over the top of the rear window... looks like a rear window spoiler. I tried looking it up but don't have a clue what its called. Anyone know what I'm talking about ? And where can I buy them ?

thanks again.
