HOW TO: Install aFe Power intake in Lexus GX470 

Shawn Ballard Thank you for always showing your support! How’s your GX coming along?

I used the Phoenix Automotive head unit I have a video about it on the channel!

Thank you, I appreciate it!

Since I have both the throttle body spacer and the intake installed, the clearance is very very close. It took me a couple of tries to get the fitment good enough to not have to worry about the fan.

Henry Ranola I have definitely noticed an increase in response and definitely sound. The MPG has stayed about the same with no real fluctuation. I do have the throttle body spacer paired with the intake but I definitely think it will be louder than the OEM one.

Spunkkat I save my OEM parts in case I ever want to sell my car or replace the pieces.

Yes I still have it and will be posting a video soon!

I’ve driven with the intake on for about 9k miles and haven’t had any problems. I definitely love the intake noises and the increase in throttle response. I have noticed that there is a slight gain in mpg on the highway. Overall it has held up to my expectations!

@@nkautos awesome! I invested on the AFE exhaust/muffler system too. I replaced the catalytic converters which the gaskets, bolts and the converters cost me $2700. Labor costed about another $1650 for installation. So a little over $4k was only that and the AFE exhaust was $650, and the intake cost me about another $400. Like I invested a lot on the truck and replaced all engine components and soon will do a complete flush out on all fluids to have it ready for the winter. Wish me luck. 👌🏼 #LexusMafia#GX#🔥

@@yammiihabibi9391 Sounds like your Gx is getting treated very well. Definitely will last you well over 200k. Keep up the maintenance and you’ll have a reliable and durable truck!

@@nkautos 200k is barely breaking in a Toyota

The MAF sensor location is different on the 03-04 but might be possible if you replace it with a newer sensor since the AFE kit comes with the newer sensor location.

@@nkautos I have a 2004 GX too and wanted to use the aFE intake here. Will replacing MAF sensor part # 22204-75030 from 05-09 models in place of original part # 22204-75020 work as a direct swap? 5-pin connector looks the same. Or will wire splicing be required? Thanks.

@@boinyohood22 I have a 2003 that is the same as the 2004, you only replaced the maf sensor ??

@@osvaldoenriquefloresgonzal3138 so whats the prognosis, I eneded up getting a different system, wish me luck

@@lakeminnetonkaoutdoors7532 I already installed them, just change the maf sensor, it is working fine

I took a look through my scanner and it hasn't increased the fuel trim enough to be lean. I believe that ECU calculated for the extra air and just fixed for it.

@@nkautos damn i wonder whats goin on with mine.

I have this intake along with a throttle body spacer for intake. The exhaust is a resonator delete and a Borla muffler instead of the OEM one.

@@nkautos like to resionater and muffler?

@@user-su1xk3mv2b the resonator is replaced with a Borla muffler while the secondary muffler which is at the end of the vehicle is replaced with piping. It sounds good, but I plan on doing some more fine tuning in the future!

No need to tune the ECU, the car adjusts to the intake flow

I have noticed low end torque and midrange gain with this intake. Definitely way more than what I had with the OEM one. Definitely wouldn’t go back to my old setup.

The Punisher the cold air intake should be the same, nothing really changed for the 03 to 05 models

Has anyone tried on 03 GX470?

Ryan Fong it should work on the 03. Nothing changed on the intakes between the 03-09 models. Only difference might be the ECU and how it adapts to the increase in air intake.

@@nkautos So no need for an updated MAF sensor?
