Cold Air Intake for Lexus IS200T RC200T (2016-2017) 2.0L Engines

Maximize Turbo Efficiency for the Lexus IS200t & RC200t 8AR-FTS

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for Lexus IS and RC enthusiasts running the 8AR-FTS 2.0L turbocharged engine.

The Problem: The 8AR-FTS is a highly capable twin-scroll power plant, but it is heavily muffled by the factory air box. The stock system uses restrictive paper filters and corrugated plastic tubing that creates air turbulence before it even reaches the turbo compressor. This leads to slower spool times and a complete lack of the audible turbo feedback that 2.0L owners crave.

The Solution: We engineered this intake to streamline the air path, allowing the 8AR-FTS to breathe without the factory restrictions. By providing a more direct route for high-velocity air, this system reduces the workload on the turbocharger, resulting in improved throttle response and a much more aggressive induction sound under boost.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Enhanced Turbo Response: By reducing vacuum restriction, the turbocharger reaches target boost pressure faster in the RPM range.
• Lifetime High-Flow Filter: The included performance filter allows for significantly higher CFM than the stock paper element and can be cleaned and reused for the life of the vehicle.
• Direct Bolt-On Fitment: No cutting or permanent modification to the engine bay is required. It utilizes factory mounting points for a clean, professional look.
