Thumbs up Installed FSport Intake System on Lexus IS300 FSport 2016 (same as IS250 / IS350)

Installed the FSport Intake System today on the Lexus IS300 FSport 2016 (same as IS250/IS350). Had the aluminum pipe ceramic coated black for a cleaner look and to prevent 'heat soak' concerns while changing from a rubber to an aluminum pipe.

Did a full photo install how-to with audio clip comparisons, but I probably won't get around to putting it all together anytime soon. Plus I can barely tell the difference between the two and the 'tick' of the engine is annoying.

The engine feels more responsive at low rpms (butt dyno).

Will be replacing the filter soon with a TOMS Racing Super Ram2 Street No36 Air Filter and possibly an all black IS250 engine cover

Looks clean with the coated tube.
I would probably leave the 350 cover, since it's only cosmetic and ties into the strut bar color-wise.
The 250 cover might be too much black.

Looks awesome! How much did that sweet strut tower brace cost and where did you get it from?

The shipping page says to contact us if you think there may be an inaccurate shipping quote. The system is automated and may have inaccuracies and/or bugs, esp with international address.

As for price, I would suggest you purchase from a Genuine Lexus Parts online store at ~30% off. The product was listed on our site because its the best intake out and I want visitors to know it exists.

I feel like it made a noticeable difference in acceleration and/or throttle response (but who knows without a dyno). I've been catching myself driving a little bit faster without realizing it.

I'm changing to the TOMs Racing Intake Filter as soon as it comes in, which should be even less restrictive.

Is the TOMs filter a dry filter like the FSport filter or oiled like K&N?

I wanted the strut tower bar to keep the body solid and the suspension towers connected since I have air suspension going up and down. It reduces flex of the chassis. It's really something that's hard to measure the actual effectiveness.
