I have a quick question for your guys? Im a newbie here and don't understand why everyone is ordering the JoeZ intake tube when K and N intake claims +28 Hp with their typhoon intake. I actually plan to order the K and N intake. Its a pretty solid company so I figure it cant be bad.

because they already made a drop-filter which actually decrease people's hp and 1/4 mile numbers... besides, 28hp from an intake sounds to good to be true - another member posted IMO a good point - you really think lexus engineers overlooked almost 30 hp from a simple intake mod? i'll wait on the independent dyno's and 1/4 youtube video's first...
another company named srt already made remarkable claims on their intake which turned out to be false for the majority just a few months ago...
but of course, you can try it! please post pre- and post- dyno results so then i can be your little grasshopper...

BTW K&N does not make a drop-in filter for the F. The one I am using fits the F, but is sourced for various Volkswagen applications.

Notice the K&N sticker on my filter housing? Folks have reported a decrease in gas mileage and power with the K&N drop-in. I have not suffered this phenomena. My filter now has been on my F for 4K miles with no ill effects. I have used K&N filters for years.

sorry but i'm confused i guess... so some people lost power and mpg, fortunately you didn't? but was this suppose to increase any power or mpg by chance, and did that happen to you? or is this one of those that needs less cleaning or some other positive outcome? i had k&n before on another application with positive results, so i'm not trying to knock you or the company - i'm sure i read several posts about k&n oily filter messing up the map or something like that.
and the people who used K&N filters for their ISF's were suppose to be on VW's or you just did that? (just wondering if you had a different filter, which provided different results?)
thanks,
jerry

But the K and N website has a dyno chart for the Is F. I believe most car manufacture engineer's reason to choose not to put an intake in the car is because of the noise level. I dunno, K and N is not ebay cheapo stuff so Im pretty sure their R and D department must have did their homework before putting out the intake into the market. thats why Im confused why everyone is ordering the JoeZ intake tube. Okay, K and N claims 28 hp even if its a bad design or bs numbers, Im pretty sure its still gonna be more than 5 hp gain no matter what.
