Arrow F-sport Intake Official Thread

I just came back from the dealer and the parts dude said the intake for the
IS350 is the same as the GS350. I took it out to the car and it matched perfectly at first glance. He said it is the same model #. Is this true??

Yes it should. Wait though the GS intake comes in June. There are no GS-F parts. Its F-sport parts

Default IS-F F-Sport Intake in Lexus GS430

Is it possible to fit an IS-F F-Sport Intake in a 2006 Lexus GS430? I think modifying the pipe to make it fit would work. Looking at how the Lexus GS350 intake is configured (near the driver) versus the IS-F and GS430/460 (towards the front of the engine)...

I can't seem to find any of this by searching the forum so can you please link if possible? Thanks

The IS-F has a dual intake design, it has a regular intake during regular acceleration and when u are WOT and floor it, the secondary intake opens.

There is no way to get ANY GS sounding like the IS-F. It has a 5.0 Liter Yamaha tuned V-8. It sound sound magnificent.

That said, ANYTHING can be done, just have to have the time and money to do it. Good luck.

You can plug the extra hole on the intake pipe...thats easy to do. The question would be will it fit and line up with the everything else. I am going to guess that the ISF intake pipe will not. Some try to test fit the JoeZ pipe and that will answer your question.

It should be the same. The airbox top and piping are the same with the IS350/GS350. The only difference is that the IS lower airbox is a little different in overall shape than the GS.

i have a question about the warranty, are u suppose to let a lexus dealership install ur f-sports part to avoid voiding the warranty? can i get someone else to install my intake for me without voiding it. thanks!

I dont know which one it voids, the car's warranty or the part's warranty. Thanks
