This is basically the same as what ISS Forged is doing for the F's.
This is demonstrating how it work. I"m not saying this is what we are getting its just an example. Hope this helps.

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong but it is a scoop that gathers and channels air into our stock airbox. There isn't any documented testing out yet, but as deprived as we are for mods I think that is why alot of people are throwing money at it, myself included. I believe it functions best at higher speeds where more air can be gathered faster so throttle is increased, and you pick up a bit of horsepower. There have been mixed reviews from systems such as the rpi ram air for BMWs and vararam for corvettes. I figure at $150 if it performs then and if not I'll take a hit and sell to someone who would like to see if it works. Hope this helps! Also love your car man.

Bryan I suggest Nitrous all the way. Just make sure you install it the right way and you will love it.
The reason we are discounting them so deeply is to gather information. Who better to give feedback then the end user. I have had them on my F for 3 months now and they work properly. They don't shoot any error codes and the car feels more responsive at higher speeds. Its a simple idea, the RMI Scoops channel air into the air box lowering air intake temps and also supplying more air to the motor. Brian your right about our cars not having many mods available. That's the reason why we made these and continue making more parts for the Lexus community. We will continue releasing more and more parts for the F as the year goes on. We are a small company so we can only release one product at a time.

Thanks for the clarification, helped a lot!
Nitrous works well with the ISF platform, so im sure you'll enjoy the experience. If you decide to go the route, send me a pm with any questions you have and ill held you out as much as I can

This link is for the rpi scoops. It shows close up pics of them installed on their m5 and provides a diagram of how they are intended to function. I imagine the issforged scoops are installed and function similarly

Those look like they might be mine and hopefully in the mail today! I can't wait to get them.
What is the estimated install time?
I'll give some thoughts once I get them installed and run with them a bit.
Excited

PM Sent,.. Will the Blue match the Joe-Z intake. I'm one of the ones that thought "i'll wait til the rest of the guys post their reviews," then panic'd when he said they're selling more, and pulled the trigger.
Can't Wait!
