Default Intake
i'm sure it has been discussed but thought it would be easier to get opinions with a new post.

On my old IS250 I switched to a K&N filter. I was very satisfied with the results.

What seems to be the preference with the IS-F:

K&N filter insert?

or New intake?

If new intake any brand better than another?

I like using the OEM Dry Filter... or another Quality Dry Filter...

I have never been a fan of oiled filters...

Just my own personal opinion..

Joe-Z intake all the way! I have mine mated with an AFE Pro Dry filter. Joe-Z is the only proven intake. All others have question marks, mainly heat soak.

JoeZ intake + K&N filter insert for my 08 IS F (lately, I've been thinking about getting TOM Super RAM II).

Very interesting thread you got going on here. I was questioning the samething awhile ago but decided after reading countless intake threads that JoeZ intake is the only proven intake and I bought that and an aFe Pro dry filter from l-tunedparts.com GL with you decision on what intake to run... but if you look at almost everyone that posted... Majority rules: JoeZ FTMFW !

Is the SEARCH button broken or something? So many intake threads lately, it's not easier to ask but to search.
