Hey all,

I just purchased an '05 IS 300! I am from Alberta and am looking to make informed decisions regarding which parts are best suited for me when I upgrade.

Any suggestions will be appreciated and I will post any upgrades!

Sorry for the quality! I'm thinking my first project will be an exhaust or some wheels, and replacing the K&N Air Filter with an actual intake... Anyone have some examples of what they've done? (Good or bad)

The car is a clean slate so I'm hoping to do things right the first time!

well if you are doing an intake there is only one i would select. yes its pricey, but you get what you pay for.

SRT intake with ecu piggyback


the combo of that and my Megan Racing B pipe and Apexi N1 really woke the care up a bit. so i would recommend some type of exhaust. the greddy sounds nice.

welcome, actually your car looks like mine right now, a GGP with red calipers. So it is a good staring point.
