No intake adds more than 5 hp, tops.

The Joe Z does this for a mere $120 or so.

Every other intake does it for more money, but the same (or less) gain. Most of the more expensive ones are louder though.

Intakes installed on our cars is only for looks and sound. You won't get much in the HP department. I would recommend either the Joe Z or F-Sport. Blitz is nice as well. There is a current sale on F-Sport products through one of our vendors, Sewell. You might want to check it out.

Use the search function or look under the performance section for information regarding intakes. You'll find what you're looking for. Good luck.

get a F sport from the ebay, they have discounted and lowest price right now 266 ( shipping included). i would go for the F sport, why? yes the JOE Z is cheap. however, i think it looks too cheap on a lexus is 350. so F sport got the look and sound , same performance as JOE Z but more expensive though...

Most intakes are basically the same. A lot of it comes down to quality.

HKS and K&N make some nice stuff.

PM us for info if interested .

Default Injen air intake

Im selling an almost new Injen Air Intake for 160 shipped.

Check it out. The HP gains is not noticable on any brand of intake you will get. but this gives the nicest throaty sound.
