+1 - I installed mine a couple of weeks ago and now I constantly find myself putting my foot down harder.

Most people lose MPG with aftermarket intakes due to heavier feet

Mods like "slammed on 20s and no cats!" can hurt resale.

A very simple nearly-stock looking intake, not so much.

Though you're probably best off (if you go F-sport) keeping the stock parts just because you can then resell the F-sport for a couple hundred bucks before selling the car.

Unless it's installed incorrectly (ie an air leak someplace) mileage will be exactly the same (assuming the exact same driving- which is where folks wanting to hear the intake more think it's "hurting their mileage"), since the MAF/IAT/O2 feedback system is still there.

One would think not but if I'm pretty sure if didn't buy and have it installed directly from Lexus they probably will give you a hard time should any issues related to it would come up. But post some vids I would like to hear it

I can't speak for Dubai.

But in the US, nothing can "void" a new car warranty.

The worst thing that can happen is if a part you install causes a problem (and it's on them to prove it did) they aren't obligated to fix that problem... anything else remains under warranty.


Installed correctly though I can't think of any problem any of the common 2IS intakes even could cause though.

I hardly noticed a difference in sound. I think I wasted money doing that. But it looks nice!
