Zukzuk Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 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 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilv1004s Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zukzuk Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 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.

ilv1004s Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 cold hose? why not use the stock intake piping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zukzuk Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 The stock intake is smallish I just incresed the the amount of air into the airbox with the hose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zukzuk Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 Last Question dose anyone know if there has been any problems with K&N air filter oil affecting any sensors on Lexus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zukzuk Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 Ok just a happy word the K&N filter made a marked difference really noticeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounded like a V8. Highly recommend it you want sound. No experience with other brands. Didn't feel any power gains to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 $700ish but it is well worth it. Completely transforms the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
water Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 The weak AU$ 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilv1004s Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 drop in filter and piping is the way to go Toms AFE etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodL Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Ilv1004s, what is this piping you refer to? Sorry for my ignorance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantis Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Pipe between the airbox and inlet manifold. Change the flex/plastic pipe for something solid and straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodL Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Cheers, will investigate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlantis Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
water Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 With the way the aussie dollar is at the moment, i wont be buying this intake anytime soon 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilv1004s Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 buy a toms drop in filter and be done with it less blind but more effective and resuable and non oiled so it dosnt foul the maf sensor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
