Hello all I have a 2008 IS350 I'm looking for the JoeZ intake. I searched the classifieds on here I did not find any. I also tried messaging them on Facebook they did not respond. When I contacted the Carson Toyota that' sells them they said there were none available and a "stop sales" order is placed on them. Please let me know if you know where one is new/used that I can purchase thank you.

Not going to derail the topic, but you'll have better luck sourcing the F sport one as they are the same but much easier to find. I've tried ordering from Carson in the past for the Joe Z intake but after 3-4 months of "order placed" I told them to cancel it even though I was "#2 in the line".

Yeah I messaged Carson too and they told me they are not selling them. That sucks I really wanted the black intake. The F Sport is chrome and flashy.

Anyone has any other suggestion on the intake pipe? I was waiting for the weather to get warm and then buy the JoeZ intake pipe and install it in my 2016 GS, but seems like I am a little too late and they are now all gone, perhaps for good.

Just go with F sport - people go crazy about 1-2 hp difference that they'll never even notice

What about the HPS intakes? They are similar to the Joe Z.

So, I am not looking to gain that extra 1 - 2 HP that is claimed by JoeZ. My main reason for switching to the Joe Z intake pipe is to get rid of that noise generator. With the HPS, it seems like you will have to reconnect the noise generator, unless there is a HPS model that is exactly same as the Joe Z. Also, I looked around for the F-Sport intake and, from what I have noticed, it seems like the F-Sport one also requires you to reconnect the noise generator. Can any of the fellow Lexusians confirm or deny that?

This is the HPS intake pipe I came across for my GS:

If you get the one for the base IS250 it deletes the resonator.
It should fit as the Joe Z is a 3 inch pipe W/ 3inch sleeves.

HPS website is stating the IS350 & GS350 pipe is actually a 3.5" tube.

I dont know if that pipe diameter will mess up the MAF readings.

Keep looking in classified. It pops up once in a while. I'm on the fence about selling mine

If you dont mind me asking, why are you considering selling yours? How long did you have it in your vehicle?

Thanks.
