Default Intake

I am having mine put on as we speak. Got it from Nengun Performance in Japan for $456 and ordered it on Aug 4th and received it last week. Will post pictures tomorrow.

Swacer, if you see ANYTHING that's Cheap for the Lexus let me Know to me, I LOVE the way it looks under the hood with the rest of the blue & with the Blue Mica Especially! & i know it's going to lessen the weight of the car 1-2 lbs. & add somewhere around 3-5 more hp

These are the Smooth Tubes that are on my Viper (2 of them) & supposedly Add 8-10 more hp!

LOL, well honestly any premium high-quality intake filter would help. There's a wide range of options and they're usually readily available so you shouldn't have any problems getting a hold of one fairly quickly.

I tried buying one for my ISF and was unable to, I think they were discontinued is what they told me it was quite awhile I looked into it. The RCF also comes with a larger throttle body than the ISF so it might not be an upgrade for an RCF..

They go to the cam covers and create vacuum to help relieve crank case pressure.

Oh, so they're the PCV (positive crankcase ventilation)! Interesting. Hopefully the PCV valves are better than GM's, so no oil gets into the combustion chamber. Thank you for the explanation.

The ISF guys are a little slow on figuring out how the system works but RRRacing put out a catch can system for ISF/RCFs and the few ISF guys that are running them seem to be find a fair bit of oil in them.

A long painful read if you know how the PVC system works and if you have had catch cans/oil air separators before you likely do.

I'm fine with buying one. With the car being DI, you won't have fuel being sprayed to clean off the valves, so keeping oil out of the intake is important early

Why is this scaring you? This should be educating you....

Your car is far from perfect (like most cars) and you need to know how it works.

One of the Vendors on here has the Exhaust System that has them on their tips, can't remember which one it is but it is Pretty Expensive. Seems like there was one more i saw but it didn't look near as good as the other.

Well, IF you Do find a Perfect Car i Doubt you'd be able to Afford it! and i Don't really need to know how it works, that would be my Mechanic (especially as long as it's still under Warranty).
