Default Can anyone identify this intake pipe please?

So I just got done putting my new spark plugs in and I noticed the intake pipe is different to a lot of the other 350s that I have seen and I just checked images online to confirm this. While it was off the car, I inspected it and there are no markings to say it's Lexus or aftermarket. Does anybody recognize it?



This is what I've seen online...



Thanks

OK, after a little googling, I think it might be a Joe Z pipe? If that's the case I've struck it lucky because I was about to shell out for one!

Pretty sure that's the black Joe Z, unless there's other replica/ebay intake pipes that are made the same way

Thanks for all the replies! That's awesome, I recently bought the F Sport drop in filter and was getting ready to buy the Joe Z pipe, now I can put the 100 bucks towards getting my windows tinted..or maybe a roof spoiler

I bought my car from a Lexus dealer too, guess they didn't notice the pipe either!

I think that's why the original owner chose black.It blends in well and hides that any engine modification was done

otherwise I would have gone with the blue color to showoff
