there are not any that will make a significant/noticeable difference unless you plan to do an engine swap or supercharger...the best would be to reduce as much weight as possible so stripping the car... if you want like 1/10-2/10 of a second an air intake and exhaust...but that is more for the sound than performance...

you'll notice a diffrence with an exhast upgrade and an intake/ecu combo. it will 'feel' faster though your 0-60 will only be minimally effected.

You don't say what your car is.
If it's an IS250 the best bang for the buck is to trade it in for an IS350. Seriously.
If you have an IS350 then...not much. Almost nothing that's worth the cost certainly.
Options for the IS350 that will help but aren't really worth it-
Intake- 5 hp tops, pricing from $109 to north of 400
Exhaust- 5-12 hp depending how legal you want to keep it, pricing ranges from $600ish to $1600ish
That's about it for adding hp.
Well, there's a supercharger kit that nobody sells anymore because almost nobody bought one... it was 5-6k for about 40 rwhp. You can find one used once in a while.
Or nitrous, one user has run a 50 and a 65 shot without blowing up his motor.
Beyond that weight reduction as mentioned... lighter wheels are probably your best bet here, but they won't be cheap especially if you also want them to look good.

Most of the above doesn't exist for the 2IS (well, apart from the intake and exhaust, but they don't do much)

i own a is350..
i notice there are something called short ram? is there any difference between that and intake and which one increases hp for better 0 to 60 time and what brand intake or short ram are good for is350

A poorly designed one too since it sucks in hot under-hood engine air.
It will make the car louder and the hp change will be anywhere from -5 to +5 depending on conditions. It should be so tiny as to be totally unnoticeable either way, while costing more, and doing less, than just getting the Joe Z intake.

www.dragtimes.com go there and check out some is350 1/4 miles times... most of them just have joez intake... i would also look in to gettin joez exhaust... probbly the best thing u can do for an is350... lighter rims... volk re 30s... then wt reduction.. take out passenger seat...
im wondering what performance upgrades can be done to the IS350 as well,
im shopping around for one right now, i test drove one last week. i fell in love! cant wait to get one, its quick, but coming from a 10sec daily driver, i would prefer a bit more power.
with 11.8:1 CR i would think that some aftermarket agressive camshafts would do wonders in horsepower gains. any info on cams out there??

No aftermarket cams available either.
If you want a 10 second car, this isn't it.
