Exclamation Plz Help!! OEM Performance Air Intake Question!!

Hey Everyone!

New to the Club Lexus forum! I recently purchased an OEM F-Sport PERFORMANCE AIR INTAKE KIT for my 2017 Lexus IS300 F Sport. Had a few questions regarding which I couldn't find online. Even though in the description of the item it says "The entire F SPORT-engineered assembly is compatible with stock engine controls" I wasn't sure if any sort of post installation tuning will be needed. Some of my close friends who have installed similar kits have also told me to look online to see if any reports of impact to the air-fuel ratio after installing the intake to the specific make/model of my car.

Sort of a newbie at this so needed some insight from some of the best! (You guys!). Any feedback is highly appreciated! Thanks in advance!!

Best,

Jay

Just unhook the battery to reset the ECU while you're doing it -- that way it relearns the new air/fuel ratio without throwing a check engine light.
