1, Best one? (personal pref)

ie F sport intake looks stock and not as loud as a CAI (F sport intake is not the same intake from a F sport)

injen/K&N etc is nice loud but exposed

prices vary from 300-600 K&n~to F sport

2.Easy to fit? ( most of thm are)

3.Best power? (on a 250 it will make no difference)

4.Worth it? (if your after sound yes if anything more than that no)

Thanks ilv I had a good look at the air on mine and you are rite I believe it wont make any difference so I ordered a K&N and I have mounted a cold air hose from behind the front grill direct into the air box I will see if that makes any difference, hopefully will help a little.

just going to order air intake for  08 IS250 any advice before I buy one, ( best one, easiest to fit, best power, is it worth it so on )

I had a Takeda intake on my is350 and it was very loud from about 3500rpm. Sounded like a V8.

Highly recommend it you want sound. No experience with other brands. 

Didn't feel any power gains to be honest.

Cool thanks for that. Yes only after sound, i dont expect to get miraculous gains from an intake only. Plus the is350's 233kw is more than enough for a daily driver

Can i ask where you purchased your intake from?

I was lucky enough to purchase mine brand new from a member in Adelaide. His new Lexus arrived in a wrong colour so he just ended up buying a Mercedes instead, and he had already purchased lots of mods for a Lexus haha.

You can purchase the intake on Ebay from USA. They are about $700ish but it is well worth it. Completely transforms the car.

The weak AU$ has made purchasing anything from the states not worthwhile, a $400 intake has a $1200 shipping fee. 

I will keep looking locally, not many options, and the few that i can see, are from brands ive never heard off

Pipe between the airbox and inlet manifold. Change the flex/plastic pipe for something solid and straight.

Wouldnt this pipe need to also cater for the maf sensor & Is the end result of doing this more induction sound?

MAF sensor is built into the airbox lid so doesn't get touched.

Smoother pipe should give a less interrupted airflow. Not sure about added noise.

I think that usually comes from a bigger hole in the airbox (like the F-Sport one).
