Performance Cold Air Intake System for Lexus IS250 & IS350 – Enhanced V6 Response & Sound
This performance intake system is engineered to maximize your Lexus's breathing potential. By replacing the restrictive factory air box with a high-velocity induction path, this kit allows the V6 engine to pull in a larger volume of oxygen-rich air with significantly less effort. The result is a more energetic combustion cycle, providing crisper throttle sensitivity and more fluid acceleration, especially in the low and mid-range RPMs, giving your IS a more responsive and engaging feel on the road.
Tailored specifically for the 2.5L and 3.5L V6 powerplants, this upgrade unlocks hidden engine efficiency while maintaining the smooth, refined drivability expected from the Lexus platform. In addition to the performance gains, it grants your vehicle a deeper, more authoritative induction note under load, while the clean construction ensures the engine bay looks polished and purpose-built.
