1st who knows the website to TRD and do you know if they modify your car do they void warenties

and im debating between a IS300 and a I35
i like the IS300 because i love the style and i want a manual transmition car. I like the I35 because its super fast, its nice inside and confortable but i dont like that its just like a maxima.
i need some advice, give me like pros and cons for both
(i have a truck which's lease is up in 2 months so im car shopping)
heres a pic of my truck

 

?

 

To the extent of my knowledge -
TRD's parts will NOT void your warrenty, as it is done by Toyota. TRD's stuff isnt for making the IS "super fast" - its for extra power. If you want a speed demon, aftermarket is your bag.

And the I35 to the IS300? Are you kidding? Yea, the I35 has more power, but its not all that much faster than a stick IS, if faster at all.. And the looks? There is no comparision. And I dont know anything about Infiniti service, but Lexus is damn near perfect.

 

Anothing thing is that the IS can WAY out corner nearly any car out on the road that costs less than 40k. The WRX, and maybe A4 quatro's might be better too but that is yet to be determined. When you compare the I35 with the IS, the IS wins hands down.

If you are curious about aftermarket mods, IS is the way to go. There aren't that many people out there modifying their I35's. You can tweak the IS to 232 (for sure) to 252 (there have only been reports, that are being investigated) for 800 to 2k after installation. Then suspension mods are very similar. For 350 after installation you can get sway bars that will definately make the IS an incredible drive. I'm waiting for the RMM shop to have time to put them on my car.

What else do you want to know?

 

i dont want much faster with the IS
just maybe TRD intake or something
just a little extra power
do they do interior stuff aswell?

 

TRD doesn't make an intake, just another muffler. The L-Tuned (TRD) muffler costs 699 w/o installation. You can go with any other aftermarket intake and it won't void the warranty. As fairuza will point out, nothing that is bolted onto the car will void the warranty. Lexus has to prove that any modifications done to the car caused the failure. If they can't prove that the mod caused it, then they have to cover the failure.

A new muffler (the tubing is already great) will give you 6-9 rwhp. L-Tuned is 8 rwph

An intake will net you 5-12 rwhp too.

No one has posted any new 0-60 times, or 1/4 mile times with the above mods. Once I get mine, and if we can ever get a group track time I'll find out.

 

can i get the website to TRD?

 

r u kidding....ur contemplating about a lexus and an infinity........LEXUS allllllll the way........besides all that upgrading and mod stuff........have u even considered the resale value of the infinity......it suxssss.........lexus is ur best best.....for luxury and speed...........u'll love it

hey insane

the real comparison should be with the G35, not the I35 -- check it out at infiniti's site

I35 v. ES300 is more like it

 

after weeks of car shopping
it turns out i got myself a little more cash and im gonna be leasing myself a 330ci
thx for the help
lexus IS 300 is still a awsome car and will still be one of my favorites

 

Sorry to hear it... well at least you're only leasing it. That way you can get rid of it before it's out of warrenty.
