Default K&N drop in filter from GSxxx?

Does anyone know if there is a K&N drop in filter that would work with our F? i.e. from GS430 or GS460? Or where can I order a Toms air fliter?

Thanks in advance.

Look at this thread:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...in-filter.html

I ran a K&N drop-in for awhile (9K miles) until I replaced it with a Takeda intake system. I had no issues with it. Some have said they got oil on their MAF, but I believe their filters were over oiled. If you're still to lazy to look at the above thread, The filter is K&N PN 33-2069 which is listed for Volkswagen applications, but it fits the F like a glove.

So many months later, I finally get a confirmation that a filter element is now available for the GS460 LOL

Too late guys, Tom's filter already purchased

I'm very happy with them. No problems so far. You should drive my car one day and tell me what you think.

Yeup!!!

Looks like they now created specific drop in filter part numbers for both the IS-F and even the GS460...

Not bad for a 5 month update...


To answer the OP's original question, no other Lexus or Toyota engine uses the IS-F engine air filter..
It is a unique size & shape.
