If you're looking to give your Lexus a real boost in performance, the HPS Performance Air Intake Kit is definitely worth considering. I've had my hands on this kit, and let me tell you, it’s a game changer. The first thing you'll notice is that it swaps out the factory rubber intake tube for a slick 3.25" mandrel-bent aluminum tube. This isn't just for looks; the smooth interior design means air flows freely without any of the restrictions that come with those stock rubber pieces that have those pesky bellows.

What does that mean for you? Well, with this setup, you can expect some solid dyno-tested gains—think around 7.3 horsepower and 6.9 lb-ft of torque. That’s not just numbers on a sheet; you can feel the difference when you hit the gas. Acceleration becomes more responsive, and the throttle feels sharper. Plus, the sound is something special. It keeps the stock sound generator intact, so when you push it, you get that sweet, throaty induction noise that really makes driving enjoyable.

Durability is another big win with this kit. The aluminum tubing is tough enough to handle whatever conditions you throw at it, so you won't have to worry about it collapsing under suction like the stock piece might. And to top it off, the kit comes with HPS's high-temperature resistant, 3-ply silicone hoses and 100% stainless steel T-bolt clamps. These clamps are designed to hold everything in place, even when you’re pushing the limits.

What’s really nice is that this intake kit works seamlessly with any OEM or aftermarket panel air filter. So, if you already have a favorite filter, you can keep using it without a hitch. It’s a solid upgrade for anyone with a Lexus GS350, IS350, RC350, IS300, or RC300, from 2013 to 2024.
