Default question on intake, please help

planning on buy an intake but dont no which one. i narrow it down to either the fujita, lms, or f-sport. i'm leaning to the f-sport since its oem and used the stock air box but not sure about the sound. found a clip on youtube for those who have it installed is it accurate?

also does anyone know how big is the tube? comments and suggestion welcome.

oh i also found a f-sport cold air intake too, was wondering if someone could explain whats the different between the two and which is better. thanks

fujita sounds better, but F-sport has the sticker.

Hey aznpapaya,

I have an F-Sport Intake, it's awesome in my opinion, it sounds great at WOT and it doesn't suck in hot air like many of the "short ram" or "cold air" intakes. It uses an upgraded airbox that comes with the pipe, it looks nice on the car and it's got a CARB sticker on it. You can order one off of Sewell Lexus or Lexus of Westminster, both have competitive prices that you don't want to miss out on. After doing all the research for what Intake I wanted I went for the F-Sport one, I couldn't be happier

Don't we all wish it did hahaha! No it's for emissions, smog check.

You won't be disappointed in the F-Sport intake, the sound, just lovely! haha! I really don't think there's anything more healthier for your car than an F-Sport Intake or a Joe Z one

That's exactly how it sounds on mine, I need to post up my videos, I have several that I took for comparisons between stock and F-Sport, when you hit WOT you're going to love the sound of it, it's just awesome! hehe!

You wont be disappointed
