Nice videos man! Keep it up! 👍

Good on you to take the time to do this modification for everyone who wants it !!!

Just did this in my 3IS and it works, must more growl

Good video man!

Wondering if it really matters to get a drop in filter with the hole compared to a normal one with the hole

Any improvement is mpg, hp, after installing the f sport intake?

Hey bro, Great video. What fog lights are you Running? & Did you change the bulb on your headlights? I have the same ones but the main head light bulb is more of a fluorescent yellow.

Mine already has a hole in deferent place but I think it’s stock should I make a hole where you did?

Sweet! I want to do this to mine now! Suggestion: you should make an engine bay cleaning tutorial.

I love your content dawg keep it up, I watch all your videos my next car will be a 350 same gen, and you know i gotta get the Vlands and I might even get the Invidia cat back 🤔 what you think?

Marty is there any reason why your Megan racing front strut brace is angled evenly over the engineand mine as well as some others on the forums have a rearward angle towards the windshield???

Good job! Does sound better

Good video!

You should have done a non hole and after sounds

Was thinking of doing this but my intake box lays flat over the engine so this would only bring more hot air in.

I did this to my GS400. Sounds great but one issue is heat soak. After about an hour the car would get sluggish. I plugged the hole and no more noise but also no more sluggishness when hot.

What tire size are you running?

Hello, is it the same Intake like the GS300 s19?

Do you have link to air box bro I would appreciate it I just picked up my is350

Inside the box there are fins to direct the air and reduce turbulence, i cut/drill/dremel in between the fins instead of drilling through them like here. F sport air box has no fins at all as the box is designed for the air. Looks nicer too - even though you wont see it again and it takes much longer to file down and clean up.

What about doing 3 holes? Sound or any performance improvements?

would just the hole in the box make a similar sound to yours? or would you want the air intake u have aswell? sounds awesome man!

Would this mod induce hot-air into the intake?

Can I do this with my is250? Will the F sport fit as well? And most of the things you do your 350 I can do to my 250 right?

What’s this 2nd like carbon/charcoal filter in the top of the factory box would it have any positive or negative effect if I remove it ?

better to use a whole-cutter drill bit assembly to drill it . Does this hole not draw in heated air from the engine bay that may lose power although probably not enough to notice

I got lucky with the previous owner of my IS350! He got the F-Sport Intake haha

Would this work on a is220d ?

If you add the front rear strut bar do you need to do the REAR also??

Hey Marty is the RR Tune necesary with the RR Intake? I just received my intake in the mail =/

Do you recommend getting the smooth tube over the stock tube? I finally got a k&n filter yesterday for my gs350 and I feel a major difference car takes less throttle to move and powerband is smoother.

Will this mod trigger engine light code?

Hey there! Where did you get this OEM box from? I wanna get mine back to stock but can't find one. I mean, there are few, but they don't cost 40$ say 140$.

Good video....IMO I like the box stock. I still get the Supercharger sound with my JOEZ intake..

So i did this to my is250 which had no other mods, and it now sounds significantly more agressive, best part is its no louder when cruising, only after 3500rpm at full throttle does it have a deeper, louder and more agressive tone. Plus theres no heat soak as the holes are away from the exhaust manifold

I too out the mesh filter from the top of the air box , I put in a after market filter. I did the hole in the air box as well as a HPN intake pipe, and I now have a check engine light. I’ve tried tightening everything and even took it out and reinstalled everything and still I’m getting a check engine light. Do you think it’s too much air going through there? I have the GS 350

Will it be worth it to do it with the stock air box? And stock pipes

merci

i did this on is350 and now on my gs460, except i made a bigger hole like the f-sport intake box

Did you ever go back to the old setup? What do recommend is the best?

Hello from P.R. USA... Cuestión? Can i do that drill hole to my is 250 / 2015 ?

Do you think this will work on my 02' gs430??

What size bit did you use to drill a home?

sounds a bit like a supercharger a subtle one

Hey great vid, do you remove the charcoal filter in the airbox lid?

Can you do that by drilling to the original air box?

I just took off the mesh....I really dont think it needs more. The results were way better gas mileage...smoth throttle and high end speed...thanks

The Fsport lower box has a huge square hole. It also doesn’t have the ribs on the inside of the box.

How big was the hole? And what if the hole is bigger?

Are those Depo Headlights?

Whatsup with the wierd 2nd filter in the cap...does that stay?

Will a injen intake be less affective since it isnt protected?

Are there any issues with drilling a hole? Like will it cause damage in the long run?

what is this gonna do performance wise? idc for aesthetics

Did this and felt less power tbh but dope video

Does this mod give any power to the throttle?

No before and after effects? I didn't understand what was the difference

Has anyone experienced a check engine light after this?

I tried this and I barely hear a difference in induction sound.

Can I do this to IS250?

Lol to funny, Will that also work on a GS 350? Mahalo

will this hurt the car in any way? Wont this cause the air filter to clog up quicker and hurt the engine???

What is the purpose of the hole?

what is your front ground clearance you look low af

A K&n air filter with that mod would be insane

why does the is350/250 have that whining noise

I did this and check engine light came on a lot of codes popped up also car is now very sluggish I’m panicking what do I do 😕

Pros and cons??

Question: Hopefully you see this because I need answers!!!!! Why not just a cold air intake?

How big was the original hole??????

Why not put a CAI?

A HOLE toward the bottom of the Air Box...hmmm LOL What gave you that not-so-genius idea? So much for filtered air and moisture.

Make a clip when you drive at night at headlamps

You should care more how to bring more fresh air inside the air filter box from the bumper, a hole and a bass sound won't give you anything in power-torque-mileage.

It made my Lexus run like shit , it doesn’t even run unless you have your foot on the gas

They call this mod swiss cheese mod..I've done to alot of cars

F sport intake come with the hole

I did the air box mod and my gas mileage dropped from 22-23 to 19-20. Definitely don't recommend this unless you prefer sound over gas mileage

they hole is way too small

Barely noticeable

Performance downgrade. Noise = losses.

Background music is to loud.
