I drive a 2015 IS250 F-Sport

So after reading alot, I've come to the conclusion that the F-sport intake is kind of a waste of money, and you probably should spend that money elsewhere. So, with that said i'm thinking of ordering the F-Sport exhaust. What are you`re thoughts on F-Sport exhaust and stock air box? any advice would be awesome! Thanks

i think its waste of money too to buy F-sport axle back because of its price above $1000 for only axle back

I have both and i love it now. at first, the combo sound a little quiet, but after breaking in, it is amazing. i had them install when my car was 6 miles. after 8k miles, they got lots of compliment.

That being said, buying more than a better flow filter element is a "waste" of money. There are some members on here that swear that the open cone filter systems (afe, tekada, etc) are "the best" but don't have the proof other than butt dynos. I'm running f sport filter element in the stock box and there is an upgrade for sure. If there is an increase hp, that's a plus, but the gas mileage has increased. If or when I get/see a dyno with with a good increase across the band, I'll jump on it. But until then, I don't see the need in dumping $300+ on an intake. Some will dump that much just for sound though...haha. To each their own

As for exhausts, there a a handful of threads on here. If you're in for just axel back and have the money, f sport is a great choice...especially if you want a more quiet system. Otherwise, there's are several other companies you can choose from. If you're looking for axel backs, there are a couple of systems for rwd and awd. I personally enjoy my joe z/pts axel back and will proudly endorse their products.

I ended up purchasing the Invidia Q300 Titanium tip axle back, I believe im going to love it. I plan on next week ordering the Invidia Mid-Pipe as well. Thanks for all the info peeps!
