I've seen many IS owners do this, infact its more cost effective. But that being said you do own a GTR so im sure dropping dollars isnt a problem.
Very interesting contrast you have here you own a IS 250 and a Nissan GTR, must be 50k difference in those purchases. Everyone I know who owns a GTR wouldn't have purchased the baby of the IS family. Just saying...

I'd say it's more of a "gggrrrraaaaa" sound than anything haha!
it's at least 3.5/4k rpm that you can actually hear it growl. Short rams are the loudest and the aforementioned cold air are good in their own rite but frankly with a 250 you're aiming for sound over performance.
Hope that helped.

If used properly like not accelerating more, the engines breathes better........therefore better mpg, my is250 went from 22 mpg to 27mpg and thats with pedaling to the metal.

The minimal increase in air flow should increase MPG, but it is very marginal, and further reduced by the fact that the filter sits in the engine bay, where it will mostly be sucking in warm air instead of the more dense cold air. These types of intakes (Takeda/aFe, Injen, K&N) will be the loudest, but the F-Sport and Joe Z should yield the better MPG results. Also, I think the F-Sport intake also uses a thinner filter, which would further increase air flow.
