Supra-chargedIS340 Posted June 22, 2003 Posted June 22, 2003 why not just give the guy an aswer........ i like the HKS, its proven and high quality......and made specifically for the car
bucd Posted June 26, 2003 Posted June 26, 2003 It depends on what you want. If you want the most HP then i would say JIC TI/SS or HKS Hiper. For the the most HP and quiet.... L-tuned Middle of the pack in sound and HP again is the HKS Drager. Which i think sounds the best. There are alot more out there Such as Tom's,Greddy EVO, Blitz Nur Spec, Tanabe, 5Zigen Fireball, etc. So far people have gotten JIC, HKS and L-tuned are very happy. -D
GT-S Posted June 28, 2003 Posted June 28, 2003 well i have an Injen intake for my GT Celica, i think Injen makes good intakes since they're more popular(i heard...). im thinking about getting one for the IS300 too. but for the exhaust, quite expensive but im saving up for L-sportline exhaust. i think that L-sportline is own by Toyota too, just like TRD. TRD makes stuffs for Toyota, L-sportline samething. i think!
Supra-chargedIS340 Posted June 28, 2003 Posted June 28, 2003 TRD USA is not part of TRD JAPAN, it is an independant company trading under the TRD name on license TRD japan is part of the Corp TOMS is not

bflinker9 Posted July 1, 2003 Posted July 1, 2003 I would say the SRT Intake is the best for the IS300, it comes with an ecu and there dyno charts say it adds 22hp which is double of any other intake for that car.
gslx4s Posted July 1, 2003 Posted July 1, 2003 I think some of you may already know my answer........lol :D (hidden joke)
mccoy Posted July 12, 2003 Posted July 12, 2003 First of all hello everyone. I currently drive a 01 IS e-shift. I want to upgrade my air intake. I bought a AEM short ram. My question is, why does the check engine light keep coming on, and will that clear up? I took it off, because I needed to take it to the dealership for some routine service. I did not want to hear anything about it. you know. Also, lastly...I want to put it back on, will this engine light thing clear up? Can someone let me know, if they have had similar experience...and what did you do? Thanks
jimcyzfr1 Posted June 4, 2004 Posted June 4, 2004 the light will return, that is just not a good intake on this car, cause turbulent air flow through mass ait meter and intake air temp sensor with no piggyback ecu to control this issue from what i have heard only 2 good intakes the "srt" and area 51 intakes both use the piggyback ecu and actually make more power witout cel. others cause cel and actually lose power just my 2 cents

IS300Newbie Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 I purchased the HKS Drager II. I had it installed 2 weeks ago and boy do I love it. Nice sound with a good bit of pickup.
PhillyIS04 Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 http://www.suprastore.com/is300.html Not bad site..check it out.
PhillyIS04 Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 What is the quietest exhaust thats sounds good? I want an exhaust but I really dont want no loud booming exhaust like hondas and acuras..
0v3rki77 Posted June 13, 2004 Posted June 13, 2004 I think the Rod Millen exhaust for the IS300 is flat out awesome. I have no experience with any other exhausts but it IMHO is perfect. It's not one of those coffee can type exhausts that is overly large, and it's not excessively loud either. In fact at engine idle and under normal acceleration you'd be hard pressed to tell it apart from stock. However when you get on the gas and push the rev's up towards the red zone the back end comes alive with the sound of music and it's a very refined sound. Lift off and it's back to quiet . . . it's perfect. Rod Millen's web site has an audio link where you can listen to it . . . obviously its hard to tell from a .wav / .mp3 file how it would sound in person but it's better than nothing. http://www.lextasy.com/is300_rmm_exhaust_837_prd1.htm http://www.rodmillenstore.com/is_300/exhaust.htm http://www.rodmillenstore.com/is_300/is_sounds.htm
JCE102JZGE Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 im looking at an hks carbon/ti. what do u guys think? everyone seems to point that the hypermax or cragger II exhaust.
is3uhoh Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 check out some of these exhausts...we were tired of this question on the forums so we decided to get a bunch of IS's together and at the EOS meet a couple of years back we ran a bunch of exhausts...click the "i6 exhaust competition" http://lgwnorcal.com/videos.shtml the fact is your taste and my taste is different. so what I think sounds, looks and performs well (apexi N1 full cat back...not in the video), you may not like. rolo
boyscout12 Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 I have just joined this forum becuase I am now seriously considering upgrading my '03 IS300 with an intake and exhaust to start. If anyone has any recommendations for headers I am all ears. I actually work in the aftermarket car parts industry. I work in the sales dept at AutoAnything in San Diego, CA. If anyone is interested in taking a look, check us out at: http://www.autoanything.com. We have Eibach, Sprint, K&N, and many other big names. Unfortunately we don't have a lot of exhaust options for imports. We carry all the US brands like Magnaflow and Flowmaster, but nothing out of Japan. I noticed that everyone likes the HKS Dragger and the SRT intake combo. I have been doing some shopping around and like the looks of the Tanabe Touring Exhaust. It is all 304 stainless steel construction, has a dual wall exhaust tip, and is supposed to be pretty quiet while still releaving enough back-pressure to give you that extra boost. Someone is selling a used SRT intake on Craig's List for $375. Does that sound like a good deal? I was thinking about getting a K&N FIPK intake since my company sells them and I can get a really great price on it. What are everyone's thoughts? Thanks, Jason K. Feel free to give me a call at 1-800-874-8888 ext. 157

The website claims gains that are inconsistent with that actual dyno. Anyone have any information on HP gains with the SRT alone? So far I have found that intakes are generally not worth installing without doing exhaust as well. Also, the soldering part takes me pretty far out of my comfort zone, so I would probably leave that to a professional. I read about someone on this forum that fried their ECU with a used SRT they bought off of Ebay. Ironically, my ECU has already fried once and been replaced by Lexus. Thanks for any input.
bartkat Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 SRT makes more power than any other intake, but I'm not one to be messing with the ECU wiring. I've heard several horror stories about that messing up when not done exactly right.
