Many people don't know about http://google.com but they have some awesome Search features. Maybe we can help spread the Good Word about this !

Wow..rough crowd. My computer is down and been doing this on my phone. So the search function is hard to use.
I looked at amazon and most were cabin filters. I didn't find any oem air filters.
Was looking for a dealer associate with this site to help but I guess you guys prefer google.

I found the same ones on amazon. So which one are the oem from amazon? Toyota brand or which one is oem manufacturer?
I frequent bimmerfest since I drive a 6 series (the LS460L is my wifes) and on bimmerfest I support the dealers ther and they offer discounts not shown on goggle.
The search feature I have difficulty is on this site.

did you search google for "OEM Lexus parts"? Sewell Lexus is a CL vendor..did you check the Vendor marketplace forum here on CL? I admittedly do not use the search feature on this site, but i do use google and type in exactly what i am looking for with clublexus.com included in the search string which takes me directly to a list of threads here on CL using the power of Google's search engine. There are just tons of repetitive posts here on this site so I can either ignore all of them or push people to search and utilize everything this site has to offer. Maybe I am just used to working with forums over the years and this site is actually very friendly to non searchers..on some of the other forums I belong to, when users post up repetitive questions, the thread is immediately locked with the forum search link as the only reply from the moderator..just sayin ...ok, I'm done..you should be able to find them really fast, good luck!

You need two, just lift off the center silver plasitc piece from the center of the engine
and they're right under it. Very easy to change...

The plastic piece just lifts off and snaps back on.

With both the Exhaust and filter or the exhaust gave its own gain and another 2 after the filter?

Exhaust gave its own gain and another 2 after the filter. Like I said, it's nothing though.

Thats SOMETHING! 438 on the hybrid plus 2 is 440 how much did the JoeZ exhaust add? Even a tenth of a second better on my 0-60 would make me a happy camper.

Might be different for LS600's but from what I remember it's a conservative 5-10hp.

Not a better filter for any car than the K&N. It saves some fuel and lots of money over the life of the car. They are under $50 bucks each and they do give better airflow......and the dirtier they get, the better they filter. It's just that simple.
