Fsport and joeZ will give you around 5hp and are not that loud. Takeda most likely will not give any power, but is very loud

Yes, but they are lying.
People trying to sell you things often do that.

Best look would be the JoeZ in limited edition blue color I think, but the F-Sport is as close to factory as it gets and does have the f-sport badge welded on it. I would have to say most people would prefer the F-Sport one because it can be used in California...and we all know how many guys on this forum are from there.

F Sport is CARB legal in CA. A ceaper way would to get the Joe Z intake pipe with a HKS type filter. THen go to the Lexus dealer and buy the F Sport Car legal sticker. That's what I did!

You can just buy the CARB legal sticker? How is that possible and how much was it?

It's possible because it has its own part #.
It won't make your non-F-sport intake legal... but it stands a pretty decent chance of fooling the inspector who doesn't realize what you've done.
(wouldn't surprise me if there's some stupidly high CA state fine for doing it, but getting caught is awfully unlikely)
