Are you looking for a business partner, or someplace to invest some money? Because if that's how you double-check math normally I'm very interested in doing business with you :P

3% of 300 is 9, not 3.

I could be tempted to sell my like new Joe Z pipe, and change to the F-Sport. Nothing at all I don't like about it, I just like to try different mods.

Yeah I said screw it and ordered the F-sport, if I can't cancel the Joe-z then I'll just have two. I don't get many daus off so gotta do it this week. IF it comes in I may just sell it.

Does anyone have experience with the K&N 69-8701TP? They state it's more than an 11hp gain on an IS350. I have been debating JoeZ, F-Sport and the K&N and want to land on a decision soon. I have the F-Sport exhaust already, so maybe the F-sport is the best way to go. I've seen them on Ebay for $300 new.

Where does everyone stand on the K&N?

Has anyone seen a better price on the F-Sport intake than $300?

Of course they do, they're trying to sell you one.

They're lying however.

No independent dyno of an intake on a 2IS has ever shown significantly more than a 3-5 hp gain.

If you can get it for 300 I say go for it. The Joez is nice but with the F-sport you get a "Hi flow" filter and I new air box. If you break it down the with is $50 and the air box is another $125. But its your money do what make YOU happy. Personally I'l buy all three try out which one I like then sell the ones i don't.

If you like the bling factor of having F-Sport parts on your car, then the FSport intake is a good start. As noted, it's basically the same as the JoeZ.

Yeah i concede the point. What can I say I like shiney things. Just to clearify we are talking about the intake. I plan on getting the Joez exhaust. But going with the F-sport intake.
