Carbon fiber cover/lid installed. Like the "AEM" impression.

New product from AEM/K&N. Final product will have a lid to enclose filter element (possibly carbon fiber lid)

. Dyno results look good. Peak gain of 18whp at 5900 rpm.

 

I just put a full Armytrix Valvetronic Exhaust system on my RCF and there is no way that intake ALONE makes 18 more horses at the rear wheel.
Not calling YOU a liar by any means, just dont believe an intake Alone will bring that much Hp to the rear wheel in a Dyno.

 

Keep in mind "peak" whp. At different RPMs you will gain different HP. I have the dyno sheet but checking to see if I can share since it's a pre-production product.

 

Also 10lb. Torque max gain at 3500

 

Since this is the final production product, I can share the dyno. The base run shown "stock" is actually with Borla exhaust (blue curve). Red curve is intake with Borla. So you can see that gains achieved are above the Borla only run! Looking to see if we can get the complete stock run from 2 months ago before the Borla was installed.

 

Impressive, glad to see another option for these cars!

 

It is very clean looking. I like that.

 

I wonder what the difference is between this unit and the ISF unit. AEM makes good products but the their intake was not well received by the ISF guys.

 

 

Looks Really Nice, but I wouldn't put a lot of stock in it adding ANY Extra HP! jmo

 

There is a dyno chart above showing the improved hp and tq...that is a fact that it improves performance. I will never understand the hate...

 

Damn that looks nice! I just bought the Takeda from Josh at Meraki but I've always been a fan of K&N intakes. Maybe in the future

 

 

I would keep an eye out on AEM website for availability and pricing. Not sure how soon it will become available. Might be awhile for California purchase since it needs CARB approval. I don't think any other color options will be offered.

 

^^^^I know of no intake or exhaust modification for any Lexus "F" vehicle with CARB approval. The approval process is so expensive, that for a low production vehicle, it's simply not worth it. With that said, the intake on my Silverado does indeed have a CARB approval sticker, can you guess why?
