Default IS 350 Performance HELP

Hi guys, I just bought a 2014 IS350 F-Sport. I don't really know much about cars so what can you guys recommend to put on the car to increase HP, torque, and sound. What are the best options (thats not too expensive) with good performance. Thank you for your time.

You’re in the wrong sub forum, fyi. This is the 2nd generation. But the cars are very similar. Headers will net a good chunk of hp, tune, catback, etc. Check out rrracing for some lexus goodies. They just released a 3is super charger kit that puts out great whp. And they have power packs , tunes, etc.

Cheap, fast, reliable; pick two.
If you can spend a little money, nothing will net you the impact that a headers/tune combo will (unless you go the forced induction route which I suggest to stay away from). The headers are about a grand, the tune's around 7, so if you can do the headers yourself that's it, but if you have to pay labor I'm sure that's around another 500 bucks so overall about 2200, but will give you precisely what you're looking for while still being reliable.
