Default Intake Questions- Help me out

Hey guys. I'm looking to get an intake for my IS350, f-sport most likely. To be quite honest, all these intakes sound good for my car but what am i going to get the most gains with?
What is the cheapest website for me to find it?
Joe Z or F-Sport?
Filters and pipes?

What do you guys think?

I think no matter what intake you put on the car the maximum possible gains are 5 hp.

The Joe Z and the F-sport will both provide that gain while retaining a colder-air style box that the short-ram style intakes do not offer.

The Joe Z is cheaper and works exactly as well, and you can use a blitz filter or something... if you want the louder sound the f-sport offers you can drill the stock box, there's even a thread or two on doing so.

Now, if the MS cashback deal were still running where you could get the F-sport for a price very close to the Joe Z plus filter cost that'd be fine (and it's how I got my F-sport) but as far as I know the MS deal is done, so you'll be looking at a good $100-150 more for the F-sport for identical results to the Joe Z plus filter solution.
