I am ready to purchase a intake system for my IS350. I was thinking of going with K&N, but now see there is a group buy for the LMS brand intake . I have a few questions.....

(1)What does LMS stand for?

(2)Is LMS better than K&N?

(3)Which gives more HP?

(4)Are there any other brands that are better?

(5)Have either triggered a check engine light to come on?

Your responses to these questions will definitely help me make the right choice.

Thanks for your time.

There have been many threads on intakes. I would do a search for them and you will find more info than you're probably willing to read.

Try a search for:
joez
lms intake
k&n intake
fujita

and any other's I've forgotten will probably be referenced in those threads.

Good luck on the search.

One piece of advice I will give you: just because it's aftermarket doesn't mean it's better than stock.

 

now i could be wrong but i think the HP difference amongst all those listed above will be too small to really notice on the streets... so i would factor in which one looks best and maybe sounds best. the only ones ive seen chrome/silver/shiny... which i like, are the injen ones and fujita... but maybe all of them come nice and pretty =)

 

(1) LMS is Luxury Motor Sports

(2) Not really. Just sounds different.

(3) Neither gives significant HP increases. A little more or less, but not significant.

(4) There are many other brands. Please use "Search"

(5) I have the LMS Air Intake and it has never triggered the Check Engine light.



By the way, Welcome to the Club!

 

Anyone else have either?

 

I have the K&N, but Philip's summary leaves nothing else to be added, at least from my part.
