+1... but there is a much-documented intake on here that provides most bang-for-the-buck....

Your exhaust will give you more power (that would be first in my book), but second would be an intake. Either way, you'd want both.

Really it comes down to how much you want to spend at this particular time, the exhaust is going to run you much more then the intake. You will in fact get more out of the exhaust though.

btw... *cough*weapon-r intake*cough*

With high gas prices ur better off with exhaust since its used in lower RPMS intake kicks in around 3500-WOT. Im also debatin on what intake to get.

JoeZ or F-Sports Intake if you don't want your IS to be too loud..

I currently have the Injen and I just love it! it's not too loud..but
loud enough to make people turn their heads when I fly by..lol
and I have Tanabe to cover me at lower RPM

I had both intake-only and exhaust-only on my car. There is a reason why I kept the exhaust and sold the intake. However I didn't buy it for performance. I did it more for the sound and the exhaust definitely it more enjoyable.

You'll need to add a couple of cylinders to fix that.
