JoeZ claims it is among the best from a purely performance standpoint. I haven't had a JoeZ, but personally, in my experience over the years and different cars, they're all very similar so long as your expectations is mostly a sound gain (and very little performance gain). I have the Takeda and am happy with it. I would just avoid any ones requiring the filter to be oiled due to their controversy on risk of engine damage if oiled improperly.
http://autoanything.com is where I bought mine (note for the Takeda, it's the same model for the Gen 2 IS)

TR-2004P No engine light issue whatsoever, 8 months I have the intake so far.
It is somewhat louder and deeper (bass) than the F-Sport intake and even more so than the non-F-Sport intake.
See before and after video: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/8150985-post94.html
When the car is coming towards the camera, sound is mostly the intake you hear:

I got my custom axle-back Magnaflow exhaust done at http://www.coachworksautomotive.com/, in Milton, very happy with their work. They made it into a bolt-on so I can replace it with the stock at the end of my lease.
Here they are in action:

For me, these intakes are all very similar and if you read reviews in this forum or elsewhere, you'll find good and bad comments for all. It might come down to your personal preference of the brand, look, and price.
