Okay I'm having major issues and I'm really frustrated now


My damn windows won't roll down only the driver side front and it doesn't roll down automatically I have to hold it

Another thing is the other bolt in part on the heat blocker won't fit because of some box located down there?!!!!!!

Help!

I had the same issue, you can either drill a hole for the other bolt, or just leave it on with the one bolt.

I decided to just leave it with one bolt and I havent had any issues

use a zip tie to hold it in place and remove it a day later n it will stay...its bec the pipe swell when it get hot and hold it in

i moved it out the way and zip tie it to the side...or you can drill new holes...

Your having issues with the window rolling up because you disconnected the battery right? If so, thats not really Takedas fault because you dont have to disconnect the battery.

And the one missing bolt isnt a big deal, everything thing works perfectly without that one bolt....

Surf247

well the instructions told me too disconnect the battery and the bolt it'd be nice if they mentioned somethingl ike that. lol but thankfully all you guys are awesome and helped me out big time.

i was seriously goin to take it to lexus today and spend wahtever to fix it lol

I'll post this pic up for future reference for people who may/will run into the power window issue after disconnecting the battery.

Guys sorry to bring back such an old thread but I am also having the problem with the bracket near the headlight being blocked by the black box. I removed the black box and zip tied and double taped it to the top of the bracket, however does anyone know what the black box is? It has an electrical connector to it. Rather than leaving one of the heat shield brackets loose, I decided to relocate the black factory box.

Yup me too... unbolted it, placed the new frame in and then zip tied it to the frame after!

I know this an old thread but I wanted to add to it instead of making a new one for a similar issue. My oem vacuum hose was actually a little too short and also kept coming off. I just bought a foot of 5/8 heater hose, straight connector, and 2 clamps. I cut the oem down about 2 inches and it was a perfect snug fit.




I am so glad I bought this intake. The sounds is much better on my IS350 than what I was expecting.

You dont have to buy a new hose... Just rotate the body of the intake slightly! Thats what I dod, no problems here!

I did that... trust me it wasn't long enough to keep a solid seal. I even unbolted the heat shield and it would barely stay on its own. Once I'd touch it to bolt down it would be toward the edge of the port on the tube. I spent less than $5 to know it will never come off unless I need it to.

The oem was only short by like a 1/4 inch from connecting to the tube on its own... and when i had it on it was on by half an inch. I want it completely against the tube so that engine vibration/road vibration can't knock it loose.

When I was researching Takeda threads it didn't seem like anyone had this issue but I posted it to help anyone who may run into it down the road.
