Default What Intake should i Get for my 2006 IS250 AWD

I want my car to sound really nice but i dont have the money for an exhust upgrade and, i also need a new air filter so i was wondering what kind of intake will have a nice sound without making me lose power.

Im in the same boat you are. About everything, 2006 250 AWD, looking for intake. The research iv been doing is you can either put a short ram air intake in her, and from what I have heard, the F-sport is the only legal one. What i plan on is the JoeZ direct flow intake

joe z won't change sound unless you cut holes in stock airbox
fsport has a nice growl
k&n/takeda/aem/fujita are loudest probably

and suck in hot air and (potentially) loose power. The F-Sport draws cooler, denser air from behind and below the headlight area (rather than hot air from the engine compartment)

F-Sport is CARB legal - doubt this may be a problem in other states but so you know:

The entire F-Sport-engineered assembly is compatible with stock engine controls and, unlike many performance intakes, meets California Air Resources Board requirements, making it emissions-legal in all 50 states.

Add-on and modified parts without an Executive Order after December 31, 2011 will cause the vehicle to fail the visual portion of the Smog Check inspection.

This is true but were talking about +- 5 hp, which wont make any difference.

OP, if you want guaranteed hp (5) then get the FSport or JoeZ

If you want a loud intake, get a K&N or Takeda, which are the louder short rams

The JoeZ with stock box has a distinct sound over the stock tube.

You can get a drop in filter like Blitz or HKS + JoeZ intake tube and should be set for some time. I had 40k miles on my Blitz filter with periodic cleaning and it ran fine.

You can't go wrong with the Greddy or Takeda (they are the same exact thing) it has a growl to it and increase hp and torque numbers...it is a bit loud between 3900-4400 rpm but it's a nice sound lol

Not so much the hp, but there is a decent toque gain for a SRI

Both Ryan and I dynoed out cars at a meet with similar mods

I second the F-Sport. OEM wouldn't steer you wrong... just your wallet would suffer.

I think it was a ~10 gain for torque? Keep in mind we also had exhausts, and I had a midpipe
