nice loving the sound but why did u go with the f-sport, couldve gotten a joez with a blitz drop in for 200 less, all the f-sport does to get the aggressive sound is add a hole in the intake box

Sounds good. I wonder how much hp & tq this combo adds to the car. Is 10-15 hp at the crank realistic you think?

Tha's no't bad but does it revoke the warranty of the car or not.

If you look around you might get it for less money right now. I paid $746.93 for the Tanabe exhaust (total includes tax). Labor from the Lexus dealer to install was $140. The F-Sport Air Intake was $492 with tax. Installation by the Lexus Dealer was $100. I'm sure they are dealing on these now. I bought mine over a year ago. I'm also really glad I got them. The car sounds much better now than in the video.

Since it uses the stock cold air box, then yes you will get a little more power. Most aftermarket intakes that are short-ram intakes will actually decrease horespower because it uses warm air instead of cold air

GREAT VIDEO MAN!
the biggest flaw on all aftermarket intakes for the IS350 is that they take air from the engine bay which is too hot.the best intake is the JOEZ (according to IS350 forums) which is only a pipe that uses the stock factory airbox (then people change the drop in filter and put something like a K&N high flow filter). none of these add more than 8 Whp.
NOW, the F-sport does the same thing, but changes the airbox which has better airflow... so this might be the best one.
TedPCA how about long hwy rides? Does the Tanabe ever seem too much in terms of droning?

No problem on long rides. When the freeway is flat and you are going a steady speed it gets fairly quiet. It's very enjoyable and you can make it loud by pushing on the gas (or going up an incline). I still enjoy hearing it and don't notice it that much (probably because I'm use to louder exhausts on my other cars). The cold air intake helps the sound too (on fast acceleration).

Sounds good! How is your MPG now?

I'm not sure what the exact increase in MPG is right now. I think I got a slight increase from adding the air intake but I need more time to really tell. I'm noticing 2-3 MPG change. Some people are saying it is because of the change in additives to our gasoline but I find that hard to believe.
