Hey guys, I was just curious and have been looking around. Any idea if there are any intakes that fit the 2012 version ? Or they havent released any ?

I was doing some research and couldnt find any. hope its not a newb question

The 2012 engine is the same as the '08-'11 (unless I've been under a rock for 4 years), so any of the intakes we've used should be fine.

Look for Joe-Z, Takeda, Injen, uhhh...the rest escape me at the moment.

Ok thats what i was starting to assume, just confused me when looking at them they only went up to 2010.

I have the joe-z, quick and easy install.

I know Joe Z's retain the secondary intake box, which I have seen a few owners wish they had kept it as opposed to modifying the box as well. Injen is top quality, but I went with the Joe Z because of the stock intake box. Not to mention he is a fellow forum member and Lexus enthusiast. Very hands on and provides great customer service.

Awesome thanks for the info, whats the diff with keeping the intake box and having just the cone ?

Good to know!

The stock intake box is a sealed unit which means no hot air is going to enter there. The other intakes out there are an open type cone or partially closed, none are fully sealed like the oem box.

If the RMI scoops perform pretty well. I would think the Joe-Z, Tom's/AFE filter, and the new RMI scoops would be a great setup

iCode and Takada also retain the factory air box.

The icode replaces the snorkel tube just like JoeZ and keeps the factory airbox.
The Takeda is almost sealed but it still has an opening facing the front of the car. It keeps half of the factory air box

Go with Joe Z Intake.. Loved the setup and make sure to get an exhaust as well.. U will fall in love with your car all over again.
