LOVE MY LEXUS IS3

 

Looks fantastic! How do you like the new intake? Can you feel a power difference?

 

Thanks !!! I just picked it up the Greddy Intake yesterday afternoon and will install tomorrow morning. From what I hear from RastaRacer, BarronNJ and thejaperu I'm hearing nothing but good things about how their Intakes feels and sounds. Once I install I will post pictures and let you know how it feels and sounds.

 

Love the going back to the OG "3D" Lexus font emblem...

The encased emblem is only good if you have "Pre-Collision System" and/or "Adaptive Cruise Control"

Great Job on the build so far..

Thanks Joe,

I agree with you on the 3D Front L logo. I like it a lot more then the new encased emblem just like the old IS 300.

 

Off to a great start

 

Do you have adaptive cruise control?

 

No i did not get the adaptive cruise control.

 

Ok.
I'm worried that the black emblem will disturb the radar that ACC uses.

 

Installed my Greddy Intake this morning and I have to say it sounds real good I am really happy with the deep growl from the Greddy Intake then the stock intake.

Thanks to thejaperu DIY - 2IS Takeda intake on 3IS thread. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...ke-on-3is.html

Now my "Snow Bunny" can breath better

 

Nice. Any changes in engine responsiveness/power?

 

I do feel a better pull when i rev the engine higher. Slight power gain i would say nothing to big. Intake sounds amazing under the hood like a true V6 engine should sound like. I'm really happy.

 

^^^^^ Great! Does it sound deeper/louder than the stock sound resonator the F-Sport has when you hit the higher revs (about over 3500 rpm)? I find the F-sport sound resonator gives a nice deep growl. The change in sound remotely reminds me of the early Honda VTEC engines of the 90s when the engine pulled and sounded more aggressively when "the VTEC kicked in" above 5000 RPMs or so...

 

Sounds way better then the stock F Sport Intake which is all fake noise. This is true Intake Sounds from the Intake. My girlfriend notice the change in sound and she's not into cars. The deeper and louder sound is all worth it plus the slight power gain...

 

Cool, well thanks to TheJaperu Richie O, I bought the Takeda intake. I'm waiting for my first oil change in a couple weeks before I install it and wreak in the benefits!
