Art_76 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I know some of you have the F-Sport Air intake, how hard is it to install? I've ordered one and I wanted to know if it's an easy install or am I better off taking it to Lexus to install... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art_76 Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 I paid US$398, I run a import business so there is no shipping charge as it is coming in one of our containers we get from the US. Shipping, depending on how soon you want will set you back about another US$400. That to me is too much as you are looking at around AU$1200 or so by the time it arrives. Incidently, K & N have a similar cold air filter for around $800 plus GST. I went with the F-Sport for the simple reason it's made by Lexus, (I assume anyway) and I pay nothing for shipping.

ilv1004s Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 alrighty i got the clip but it takes damn too long to upload it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perks Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 alrighty i got the clipbut it takes damn too long to upload it lol I got the F-sport intake, took me only 30mins, Very easy. It comes with intructions on how to install it. only thing you might make sure you have is an extra long extension for your socket set, as there is a bolt thats hard to reach if you dont have it. the 2 bolts for your airbox base. If you dont have the instructions let me know, I have it in PFD format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
