Default does the Joe Z intake pipe fit '11 IS250?

on l-tunedpards.com it's listed under 2006-2010 IS250/IS350. any '11 IS owners installed these? also, i know there's nothing i can do to make my 250 go any faster, but comparing Joe Z and F Sport intakes, which one will give me the most power gain? relatively speaking that is.

Far as I know any intake will fit any year since there's been no changes in the engine design.

The F-sport is largely just a copy of the Joe Z from a design perspective, so you're not going to see any measurable/noticeable performance difference between the two.

i've seen some people cut the bottom portion of the Joe Z to gain better sound, do you mind explain to me how does that work? if i don't plan on cut anything, does the intake come off easy, in case i need to put the stock back on and sell my car later? thanks.

Im not sure how the hole works, but I know or i believe people got that idea from the fsport intake lower box. other than that its the same thing as the JoeZ as kurtz stated.

But even I did my intake on my own, and I know nothing about cars Its just couple of bolts and screws and swap !
