Not to sound like an idiot but what does OEM mean or stand for. Also does anybody know how much HP you will get from a Fujita short ram intake.

^Like Rashoodz said. In other words, OEM = expensive parts that are made and certified by Lexus/Toyota. Guaranteed to to fit and work perfectly. they are NOT aftermarket parts.

If I'm not mistaken, you will actually lose HP when using a short ram intake since your just sucking in hotter air compared to stock. Most people here use the F-sport or Joe Z intake. Both only add around 1-5 HP at best. You'll just be getting it for the sound.

And just in case you're curious, "JDM" stands for Japanese Domestic Market.

As far as Short Ram intakes go, there is plenty of debate whether or not they add any benefit besides sound.
