Smile F-Sport intake help

Hey guys im from Australia, I was wondering if anyone could help me with quote prices from the US for an f sport intake (is250 2006). On ebay they are roughly $500 AU dollars. Im also interested in 2nd hand ones. Sorry if this is the wrong section. Thanks

F sport intake in Canada is around $475 CAD. That converts to around $351 USD.

You should just try and get a Joe z intake. It's the same thing as the f sport since all the f sport really does is just give you a metal tube to replace the rubber OEM one. You can also just drill a hole out of your stock air of yourself and shave the ridges on the inside. Either that or just do what I did and buy an F sport air box. I got mine for $65 USD back when Sewell was around. Gives you all the sound of the f sport intake for the most part. I then bought a Joe z intake secondhand from a member for $80 and installed a few days ago. So now it's like I essentially pieced together an f sport intake for $145 USD. Much cheaper than buying the F sport one from Lexus and same exact benefit IMO

He's in Australia and not much part available like us. On top of that, Sewell is not available anymore so where could you buy lower box for that price?

True, maybe my experience is very helpful in this case since Sewell is gone. But I'm sure you could buy the f sport box from a deal if you have the correct part number. Although that price may be a little bit higher, it would still be cheaper getting that box with a Joe Z tube vs buying an F sport intake. Or just forget the box and cut a whole in your stock one lol, same thing pretty much.

A cheaper alternative would be to buy the silver Fsport intake tube and then using any other intake connectors to connect it. That's what I did and it cost me ~$20 for the connecting hoses and about ~$140 for the Fsport intake tube off eBay.

It's the same lower air box so I just cut a hole.
