Don't pay the dealership to install it. Anyone with even the slightest mechanical ability should be able to do it.... I have an AEM intake which came with a page of instructions, I'm guessing yours probably did too?

i just followed this along and it was cake, not hard at all. DO NOT pay someone to do it. It could be your first time using tools and still be accomplished without messing it up just make sure to have good lighting and time.

Do it yourself using Sewell's instructions.

I agree with everyone else, intakes are usually pretty easy to install.

If you do it, maybe you can take some pics to help other people.

Where in NC are you? I haven't actually installed one on my 350 yet, but I have installed intakes on a few cars in the past. If you are in Charlotte and want some assistance, let me know.

Thanks guys yeah Im going to buy it from Sewell since its only 300 bucks plus shipping compared to 560 at the dealer.
Yeah man I live like 20 mins away from Charlotte i live in Gastonia but that would be awesome for some assistance cause I just got my IS 250 with the F sport package and this will be the first mod under the hood so I don't want to **** up

Also guys what do you guys think of a 3M carbon fiber Roof wrap on a IS 250 with F sport package which the color is smokey granite mica? Would it look ugly or not?

Cool- I'm on the west side of charlotte, not far from 85/485, so you are pretty close.

Like I said, haven't installed one on a 250/350 yet, but wouldn't mind helping. Have installed on other cars, so I'm sure the process is pretty similar. Between the two of us and the directions linked above, sure we'll have it on there in no time

PM me when you get it in and we'll set up a time to get it installed.

This intake turns a IS 350 into a beast. You should try it. Best upgrade I have ever made to mine.

I just got my f sport intake and about to install it myself, but the link from the sewell website is no longer available. Does anyone have the instructions saved that they could send to me.
