Default Which cold air intake?

2015 IS 350 F sport.

I would like it to have a little more throaty sound without the stupid "drone" or whatever they call it.

We have a 14 tundra with the 5.7 liter and I out the K&N intake on it and it sounds great.

Any suggestions?

Injen/aFe/Takeda/K&N?

Anyone have some sound clips comparing?

Most will recommend the plastic-tubed AFe to avoid heat soak

I'm wondering the same thing, I could care less about real gains the car is pretty slow regardless would just like a little better engine note.

I’ve had the F-sport on the second gen IS which sounded great and I’ve used AEM long arm intake on some cars in the past and was very happy so I'm personally leaning toward that.

Most of our customers go with the Afe. Though we do carry all brands.

I've noticed a lot of 350 owners use the AFE intake, while 250 owners use the Joe-z. The 350 sounds good, you get the sound of the suction, and its not too loud. There are a bunch of Youtube clips, but a lot of those cars have exhausts too.

Feel free to pm or text me with any questions and I'd be glad to get you a great price shipped!

I just spoke to them about selling their intakes, and they told me that getting a carb legal intake is a long process... So the waiting game begins..I'm also waiting for their intake to be released.
