Default 2 F Sport intake options???

I want to order the F sport intake and I am noticing hat there are 2 options.


Option #1 is the filter with the lower intake box.......$188

Option 2 is the filter, lower intake box, and the polished intake tube....$390

I am tempted to get the more expensive kit, but is the polished intake pipe worth $202 ???? I dont think so. Am I missing something or is this true?????

We got owned by false advertising.


The second option you don't get the lower intake box, only filter and pipe, which is what DJVolume and I bought. What you can do is buy the first option, and then buy a separate JoeZ intake for like less than $120 if I remember correctly.

false advertising = refund

if it's not what you expected, there's no reason to keep it (unless of course you really want the f sport intake...)

i guess mine was option 2, since the price listed was 390 before discount.. i only received air filter and polished tube also, but my understanding was that lower intake box only applies to IS.. i want that box too for obvious reasons..

Damn that is false advertising. It says lower box in the add. I am a little pissed but I am glad I asked. I a going to ask the guys in the parts department to call lexus and find out what the hell is going on. I want the lower intake box as described in the add

If thats the case then you will pay 300 dollars for a stinking polished tube with an F sport logo welded on it??? I am going to get the cheaper option if even. Its 188 dollars for an air filter
