Hey guys I got wife an IS350 for christmas and I'm shopping around for an Air Intake. I'm thinking of getting the Fujita Air Intake any recommendations?

Thanks,
Paul

Get Joe Z intake or F-sport if you want any performance gain but if your going for sounds, Fujita is the best imo. You get to hear a turbo-spool like sound at low rpms haha

I have the Fujita and I love it... sounds pretty good once it hits 3K rpm... honestly the gains from any intake are minimal so that you won't feel a huge difference so I would go with something that makes a lot of noise depending on your preference IMO.

I have it on the 3GS and got screwed. There is no difference between stock and the F sport in sound because the kit for my car consists of a drop in filter and a new intake pipe. Its different on the 2IS because it has a altered intake box

it's using the oem snorkel set-up, so you could say it is "cold air". however, the hole on the bottom portion of the f-sport intake means that you're drafting in hot air from the engine compartment, so it's actually not quite "cold air".

did u guys put your engine covers back on after installing the intake? i just went from joe z to fujita for more sound. the engine cover doesn't go on smooth.. kind of have to put a little force into it..

im running a Takeda Intake
it's got a full heatshield on it so it acts like a CAI
and i can definately feel some gains on the top end
it's a very well made kit
