Will be removing the intake on my 2006.

I have throttle body and intake gaskets, both in FelPro and OEM.

Should I install the FelPro or OEM stuff this go-around? It no matter to me, but just asking to see what you think.

There was some chatter on net about some FelPro stuff being MIC items, but what I have does not appear to be MIC items, although it does not say "MIUSA" either.

 

If you have the OEM gasket, why consider using anything but?

 

I just so happened to order both, kinda a goof, but not a big deal, the FelPro parts were just $27.
And, the OEM parts were free from a parts credit with Lexus.

I would not hesitate to use either, etc.

 

Either should be good, though in general I always lean to Felpro gaskets.

 

Your original OEM ones lasted 14 years. That's pretty good.

Probably longer. I not going in to replace the gaskets, need to get under the intake.
FelPro also lasts a long time too.

I leaning FelPro and perhaps save the OEM for next intake removal.

 

We used a lot of Fel-Pro gaskets on performance upgrades in the old days. I'm sure standard OEM gaskets have been produced with equal quality today. So get money back on either

 

OEM parts were $0, FelPro were just $27. I'll keep an extra set just in case.

 

OEM. Easy decision! Get your money back.
