Wink Need Intake

Hey Guys
I just got my Tanabe Exhaust this weekend and I am loving it so far, but I feel like I need to get a Intake install to get the best out of it, but my dealer keep telling me that they could not find one. I am just wondering what will be my best choice right now and where to get them? If anyone out there can help me out that would be great.

Thanks

I guess an intake is ok if you want it to sound like a rice rocket.

What is your car, there is a K&N intake for the G350, a Injen intake for the G300 and the GS430. I do not believe there is an intake for the 450h or the new 460 yet

I dont believe it will make you car sound like a rice rocket.

I have heard others say that it is for sound only and doesnt add any performance. But the K&N website says something completly different.

I understand that 18hp is the maximum difference but it seems that at all ranges it should be an improvement, correct?

Seem like for $200+ thats a nice increase in hp.
