Hi,

Couple questions... Picking up a 2015 IS 350 F Sport AWD today.

Are the air filters on 250 and 350 the same? My car although is an F Sport doesn't come with an F Sport filter does it?

Anyone who went to F Sport air filter did they notice a sound difference, increase in throttle response, etc?

Thanks!

none of the cars come w/ the f sport filter. you can order the filter at your parts department. I installed mine a couple of weeks ago and the computer is adjusting well to it. you will see a HUGE difference in construction compared to the stock. as far as sound difference it's difficult for me to tell cause I have a cat back exhaust that covers most of the sound. the car does breath better and I'm slowly getting better gas mileage so that's a plus. either way, your car will breath better and you won't have to buy replacement paper filters anymore.

Is it the same for the 250 and 350. Or for my 350 its specific for only that model?

Would love your impressions as you keep putting miles on it... any throttle response increase, or anything performance related?

I know you can't really tell sound diff with exhaust you have

indeed, i will update as i continue to rack up mileage. but answer short and quick, throttle response seems to better. as far as performance, there may be a little hp added, but not much to where i can feel a difference. i do know for a fact that my mpg has increased a little and will hopefully increase a little more as the computer is still learning. from my house to work, there is A LOT of stop and go and my mpg was about 20.5-21.5 mgp. after the intake install, I'm at around 22-22.5 mpg. I'd say it was a great purchase for that reason alone!


as far as sound, it is what it is. I've had open air/short ram intakes before and i loved the whole darth vader inhale sound, but that wasn't the reason for purchasing it. bought it for performance. i don't think that just changing the filter element will increase sound or make it sound more aggressive, but i could be wrong.

I couldn't find an area to add a discount during the checkout process.

Did you install the whole f sport intake, or just the blue filter? (I ask because you said after the intake install above).

filter element and cover. didn't buy the pipe. bought the cover cause I like the fsport logo!

Thanks.

The covers are the same except for logo?
