Hi All! New here. Recently purchased a 2018 IS 300 Base model because I needed something a bit more practical due to my driving needs (finally got rid of an older accord 2006 model so it's been awhile since I got a new car)

However, after having it for a few weeks, it is really hitting me just how quiet this car is. Given it's new, I really don't plan on going overboard on making changes.

Do I have any realistic options? I was thinking maybe getting an aftermarket cold air intake?

Not sure I would want to replace exhaust on a new car so figure intake would be the least invasive part I can replace to give it a little "oomph"

 

We can help you with the intake or exhaust.

Start with an intake then change exhaust later.

Which model of the cold air intake and exhaust is good for the IS300 AWD 3.5 engine?

 

^ Afe Takeda and Ark Performance, Apexi, Invida exhausts.

We have them in stock!

I have a 17 IS300 as well, I can understand what you mean. I went with the K&N kit on mine, mind you, a CAI isn’t going to do much for the power department, it will add a little more intake sound from engine area. Not quite like the Fsport sound generator though, if that’s what you’re looking for, I don’t know. I did install the RR Racing tune to mine, I don’t know for sure if it’s available for the ‘18MY, but if so, I’d save for it and install it and their intake kit, which can be had at discount when combining the purchases. I attached a pic of the K&N installed. ​​​​​​​

 

Too, welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new IS, hope you’re able to find everything you’re looking for here.
