Something's not right with your catalytic converter. Take the car to the dealer, they have fixes for this.

Have you tried putting back on the OEM Intake Airbox & Pipe ??? ![Wink](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
That's exactly what I would do next...!!
Followed by cleaning the MAF Sensor as well. (but only if you're experienced with the procedure)

I have the same problem and performed the following:
Joe Z intake and stock intake = same problem remains
Changed gas fuel comapnies (Esso/ Exxon, Shell, Petro Canada) same octanes
MAF cleaning of Platinum Hot Wire
Deep intake/ combustion chamber cleaning
Reset ECU learned values
.....all continue to breed the same issue under heavy acceleration only.
I also checked my catalyst efficiencies ....and everything is performing in unison (same heat and cool down temperatures). I see no other technical data from Lexus on what these tempeatures should be, so assuming they are heating up at the same temperature they are operating correctly.
I assume they are working OK and am not overly concerned at this point in time. In other cars, simply changing fuel companies has resolved this for me in the past.

thanks digger. good to know that its still the same with the stock intake. considering i dont have mine. I was wondering if lexus would give me a problem if i brought it there with the K&N inake on it. Anyone have one for sale or know where i can get one..the smell doesnt last to long. (it shouldnt be there) but it just reminds me how beastly this car is..man I cant wait for sikky headers and joe z's exhaust. this car must be ridiculous with that set up.. Any CT IS F owners in here?
