Default Any thoughts on this intake from RR-Racing?

Looking to buy this intake from RR-Racing. Here is the link:

https://www.rr-racing.com/RR-Racing-Carbon-Intake-for-Lexus-XS350-p/isxitk0001.htm?CartID=1

Has anyone bought from them before ? It seems to look descent for the price.

Hi,

We have found the optimal set up for the V6 cars to be our Carbon Intake, OEM Airbox and a drop in K&N high flow Filter.

Most aftermarket Intakes that replace the OEM Airbox with a conical filter will lose power over stock by drawing in hot air from the engine bay.

You'll want to pair our Carbon Intake with our ECU Tune for additional power/tq, better throttle response and most importantly, to accommodate for the additional airflow.

Please feel free to give us a shout with any further questions.

If you pair all those together, what sort of real world power gains would I expect to see?

From what I can gather, the car will be more responsive but power gains may be minimal.

You can't compare the ISF, 350 and 250s as the gains vary between different models.

Tune alone will pick up 10whp/10ft-lbs on the GS350 along with improved throttle response and increased rev limit. Add Exhaust along with the Tune and you're closer to 25whp, Exhaust/Headers/Tune will give you about 45whp gains.

More info and dyno charts are posted here: https://www.rr-racing.com/RR-Racing-...ig3xxtne02.htm
