F-Sport adds power, especially combined with other mods . Alone though, not much.

JoeZ hands down! I'd wait if I were you. If I was close by I'd show you.

Not really, no...

Notice the "up to" in the marketing material you're quoting there?

The IS350 produces about 265 at the rear wheels...3% would be 8 hp. 5 is the most gain anybody has shown in an independent test for any intake.

Now, on an IS250, you'll probably get close to that 3%, since that's barely more than 5 rwhp on a 250 (about 5.25)


Gains between the F-sport and Joe Z should be bout identical, though of course the Joe Z is a lot cheaper (but not technically legal in California)

Either one is good, if you can't wait and the higher price does not bother you. Go for F-Sport, otherwise, just wait.

Wait for the JoeZ, the F-Sport costs more but does pretty much the same.

i think it is calculated as estimate 300, 3% of 300 is 3, so about 3HP i think thats how they did it. well just my guess =D

I am in that boat too. I submitted my order for a JoeZ. Right now I am fighting the temptation to order an F-Sport but I'm trying to be good and wait for JoeZ. Hopefully it wont be too long, maybe they'll have a Group Buy?!?! (not saying they will, just hoping)
