Watch This Before Buying Intakes 

For those that want to see a video focused on how it sounds with the intake installed, look at this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Vaf2BMioedQ.html

Super well done and extensive! I will be considering one for my RC200t 😁 subbed thanks for the video 🙏🏼

One of the best comparison videos I've ever seen 👏

Lol I know Kevin IRL, had no idea we both followed this channel. I’m super impressed by 260 ft lbs of torque, I really did feel like the IS250 had no real place in the modern line up once the 200t was introduced. Knowing it has a bit more wheel torque than a IS 350 only furthers this belief. Very cool content keep it up, I’m just waiting for the day a 3.8 genesis coupe owner try’s to make claims in this comment section😂

Pretty good test. Actual data was collected and we got real world numbers .

awesome video thanks for sharing

Best comparison I’ve seen

Solid video.

Here's what I know for sure. After 1 year of owning my car, with my driving style, at best I got 21.2 MPG. Once I installed an Injen CAI, my mileage immediately went up to 23.3 and hasn't changed in another year of driving. On top of that, I can tell the difference in power. Add to that a D3 performance tune, and the car is now how it should have been out of the factory.

Let the debate begin! Lol while I totally appreciate your willingness to perform this experiment, one would definitely be able to discern parts of your graphs that may or may not conflict with your conclusions. What you really need to look at is how the car builds power and torque, vs the results of how the aftermarket intake has shifted the torque curve. In the first graph (stock intake) you can see how the torque has shifted to favor higher rpm as the torque spends more time above the 200 range with stock intake vs the aftermarket. This is where the stock intake has the edge over the aftermarket. Then at around 4500 the stock intakes torque starts to dip where the aftermarket does not. So you’ve got an area of about 1500 rpm where you’ve seen an improvement at top end which is pretty typical of an aftermarket intake. (Top end gain vs sacrificing low end torque) the same can be said for the power curve yet it is even less impressive. It takes almost until 4500 rpm until the power curve goes above 200 and then in later rpm it gains the power vs the stock. But for the stock intake, the power builds almost immediately above 200 (around 2700 rpm) and stays much more consistent throughout. By simply looking at the graphs you can deduce the difference in power band and torque shift, and not very many gains have been had. Also the fuel mixture is another big one. Moving forward, the stock ecu will constantly keep trying to correct for this making any gains in the areas previously discussed even more minimal in order to achieve factory drive ability and gas mileage. Bottom line is, not many gains will ever be had with just an intake without a tune, period.

i have the same exact dc racing intake on my lexus is200t and im just wondering what the app you were using on your phone was to see the temperatures and all of that.

Is it possible to get an ecu tune after this? I wonder how much hp & torque gain

did you have to tune this after installing the intake?

I have same car but no turbo flutter noise, what mod did you used?

what did you use to monitor the temp?

i just put a takeda CAI on my 18 is350 wonder how much whp i gained

Where do you buy the intake?

Any notice change in mpg?

I have the AEM cai. The DC design intake is similar to AEM.

@1:55 why does it it sound like its bogging, my IS accelerates the same way, it is not smooth.

Is the IS turbo or is just the sound of the intake? 5 - 5:10

Buh buh buh mighty car mods said noooo~~~~

Can u remap the 200t ?

Pr 🔥

What were the differences in ambient temperature though?

jesus, who's doing dyno run at 1am middle of night? neighbor would be pissed
