Toms Racing Super Ram filters, got these in Christmas eve. Going to install them soon when I get a chance, hoping they are worth it.

Better airflow which should be better for turbos.

Finally installed, these engine filters are way easier than the rest of the Lexus lineup. I attached pics, but you literally pull the metal tabs, and pull the plastic housing up. Very simple hoping they make all there filters this way.

Any update on these filters?
What're your thoughts on these? Are they worth it?

Honestly I can say it feels less restrictive, but then again butt dyno tells me its a little faster. In all honesty it helps the air flow for the turbos, and thats good enough for me. Is it worth the upgrade probably not.
