Recommendation on intakes?
I have a 2016 IS300 FSport...Which intake would you guys recommend?
I was looking at this AEM one: https://www.carid.com/2016-lexus-is-...399307957.html
But I also see people getting this one https://www.topendmotorsports.com/le...ystem-2883.php
Or is there one that you guys have that's good with performance etc...

For performance, get a boxed intake like the stock one or change the tube on the stock one.

Lexus didn't spend $$$ on R&D for developing a non efficient intake. ISF/RCF/GSF all use the boxed intake method as well.

We recommend the Takeda intake.
Most popular intake by far.

Wouldn't all the intake air be cooled by the intercooler? I imagine a boxed intake may help a tiny bit by delivering a little cooler air but not by much.
Ive seen an aftermarket dyno on the intake filter and tube make about the same power gains, about 7 each if youre lucky. So ide recommend ditching the money on an intake for a few hp and drop the money on a tune or piggyback for serious gains. spend about another $100 for much more potential, just my .02👌🏼

If I had the 3.5L IS300 the first and best modification that can be done is the tune. RR Racing can tune it to IS350 specs for not a whole more. Consider the F Sport intake is $450 and maybe will gain a couple HP if you're lucky. The RR Racing tune is $550 and you actually gain 35whp. Not bad for an extra $100.

Ive had the bms cone intake along with the jb4 for a couple weeks now. The intake sounds amazing if you like to hear your car breathing, and definitely, like most cai/sri gives better throttle response...but turbo lag still remains, just not as bad. I highly recommend the jb4! on map 2 once you hit 3k its a kick and throws your head back
