Hello everyone

Im getting my '07 IS250 very soon and of the first thing i want to do with it is put in a CAI or at least a K&N air filter with the tanabe or HKS exhaust

now being in Aus, we have to import most of our products from the states for this car, and having a look around, i chatted to the staff from a certain online shop from the state

i inquired about K&N air filter, and the bloke said that it would not fit in our right hand side IS250 as it was designed for left hand side IS250, is this true?

i had thought something as simple as an air filter would fit all model, neglecting if its LHS or RHS

thanks for your help guys!

 

i think we have some CL members are from HK, Macau...etc which are RHS also. Maybe they can help you with that. or u can also try the search function. congrat. on ur new car in advance!

 

i've searched around but come up with nothing

hopefully someone with a RHS car can give me some advice

 

well fortunately for your wallet, the car already has a CAI built into it, and the stock filter is as good as any aftermarket one from the dynos we've seen so far. there is also a carbon element before the filter that restricts a good amount of air flow, but the only intake performance upgrade we've seen have even the slightest effect is a solid smooth connecting piece between the manifold and the filter like the Joe-Z pipe. if your filter is on the left hand side when you pop the hood then you can use it.
