How to install an RR-Racing Intake tube for a Lexus IS 2014+

- RR-racing offers a really great intake tube for 2014 and up Lexus IS. To no surprise the intake is seriously an awesome quality piece to add on to my Lexus IS250 engine bay. As for performance the throttle response really feels a lot more responsive and added with the tune, it feels even better. IF you do have a rr-racing tune its best to keep the stock box for better efficiency when it comes to air flow. Hope you guys enjoyed the video don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe.

I ordered my rr racing tune just after watching your installation video. Now I've just ordered the intake pipe 😂
🤣🤣 sorry dude it’s really not my intentions to make you spend more lol
Ok bro just please dont supercharge it yet. My bank can't handle that just yet 😭😂😂
Hey man word of advice, look at your little crank case breather from time to time. When I had mine installed like how yours was it was touching the engine and melted. I put it on without the hose and no issues. Keep up the good work
That what I was worried about but I did manage to keep the filter off the valve cover and elevated so that doesn’t occur but thanks for the advice 🙏🏽
Can’t wait for this Chanel to blow up 100k and up, I have a 350 And my net purchase will be definitely the RR Intake
Thanks man 🤟🏽 and RRracing is definitely a good purchase
So all these engines tick loud asf, I thought something was wrong with mine
😂😂😂 seriously bro
@@ChrisKheluram hey I’m from New York as well but my question is my car right now is 100% straight pipe you know a way I can make it less loud and still be able to shoot flames
@@oo_wail_ooupgrade the headers, and get a switch to open and close the exhaust.
For the homies that didn’t know that ticking is actually your injectors firing off. Since this car is GDI and the PSI they fire at are around 1,880 lol
LOL fr though 😂
Another great post!! Glad for this one because I thought the crankcase filter just went directly on without use of the old hose . 👍
I tried it.. But the bracket that holds the engine cover was hitting the filter lol
I can’t wait to get me a IS350!!! Great vid brotha!
Hell yeah man definitely a great choice for sure
Nice! Going to RR in the morning to get my '17 is300 tuned. Going to get the intake too I think and install it myself.
Hell yeah dude, it’s so much more worth it for a is300
@@ChrisKheluram well I bought the intake as well. The tune does create a difference. I haven't really got on it too much yet but for the moment that I did to get around a car on my way home, I definitely noticed the difference. I was told that the power will increase all the way as I drive it more but I think it's all the way up. I haven't put the intake in just yet because it's cold lol but I will on Friday. They tuned it already for the intake as well.
@@lockafellas 1 year later, how is the RR tune? Any issues? I just bought a 16' IS300 and I'm 50/50 about it.
Next do the f sport lower air box mod! I'll be putting a video out about that soon!
How was the fitment on the tube and couplings? Marty mentioned that his tube was a little short and had to split the difference on each side to make it fit correctly...?
Which mod you think is better for performance if i am going to tune
Rr racing intake tube with AFE drop in filter
Or
Takeda intake system
Is it bad to hit the redline like that before shifting. Even with the tune
Yo so i just put in a rr racing carbon pipe, can i pay u to tune my ride? Im in Brooklyn, i can come by wherever… zelle or cash lemme know
Your videos are great, keep up the great work! You need to get lexus and/or rr to sponsor you!! 😁 lol
Thanks bro and I wish lol
Does it sound different if you just switch the tube and keep the box?
How long did it take for you to get your intake and tune?? I also have a 250 but, and 08 6spd. Raffi from RR racing told me it should be shipping out on Monday but, I ordered it them weeks ago. I hope the wait is worth it. I also ordered the chassis brace also.
It took awhile for me to get the intake tube itself about 3 weeks.. they were having issues with shipping and ETA due to some carriers not able to ship on time due to their covid regulations. But I believe everything should be back to normal
Alright I’m gonna subscribe
Oh hey Chris! That’s normal when the cars stalls first try after the battery is reset.
You know what’s funny it never did that before my PCM software was upgrade and the tune was installed
Thank god though
Chris Kheluram Oh weird lol! I have the same intake setup as you with the HPS intake but I drilled the bottom air box for sound like the f sport intake. But you didn’t like the HPS and you want to get rid of it??
Great video bro. I was asking about the sound inside. Is the cabin sound reduced now or is it same? I heard some people say the sound kind of goes away cause stock is routed in the cabin in S mode
Tbh I never heard it anyway unless the short time it was stock but since my exhaust is so loud anyway it didn’t really matter to me
Quieter than stock, but when its brand new it rumbles a bit
will the tube ruin my reliability with my 2017 is300 without a tune? I plan on running this with a f sport lower box
Finally you catching up bro, already have that on for two months. And it’s sound amazing when you on 6000rpm. Bro and also time for PPE header
that k&n vent filter part #62-1340, how did you know this part is right? you measure the inner diameter to match with the engine vent before you buy? I am just wondering if it fit naturally before i buy one for my lexus because i am going to put a afe takeda air intake soon. thanks
Well it came with the intake from RRRACING lol
Yo bro what’s the sound difference like with no sound generator? I like it, makes the intake more throaty
It does but once you mod your exhaust it get so loud you can’t hear a thing anyway lol
Question for chris and the community?
I just replaced the tires on my 14 is250. Inner part of the tires were worn out and they only lasted me 20k.
I read a fix to get more life is to get the LCA bushings. Either from RR.Racing or oem from the GSF/RCF model.
Anyone done this and can give a review? I'm reading mixed experiences from both
Strangely enough i have experienced a significant amount of tire wear on my stock wheels for some odd reason even after an alignment. I know that the bushing with help that issue a lot, some even say the alignment does helps; but me personally, I think it’s just one of those lexus flaws that needs to be corrected 👌🏽
@@ChrisKheluram I didn't do my alignment in the 2 years I had the car. (Bad, I know)
I think the IS series are the only ones with this issue.
Thats why bushings from the GSF/RCF are recommended for the fix.
I plan to get bushings installed by October so we'll see.
Keep up the good work on the videos!!
Lol just make sure you get and alignment after the install bro and thank you 🙏🏽
Is the rr tune necessary with this intake?
I've read that Lexus' always fail upon first start when installing a tune or intake
Yeah, I learned that the hard after couple times 🤷🏽♂️ lol
Takeda air intake a beast as well
I want to purchase that one for my 16’ IS300 I saw it on Amazon $398 tax including. How is it holding up?
@@leojohnwayne1422 I love it...it provides a deep growling sound. Except I had to buy a new rubber tube because the old one was too curved and it kept slipping out.
@@fer41013279 oh ok sounds good! Where did you purchase? Should I buy it off Amazon with 2 day shipping? For $398?
@@leojohnwayne1422 I bought it off afepower.com but if you live in CA they wont ship to CA. Because its illegal in CA
@@fer41013279 oh okay good to know I live in NY thanks
Without the tune,I'm assuming this intake throw a code right?
I would think it would.....I do not understand $1000 for what 20HP? Just get a Peddle Commander............for $350
Bro does the throttle response do any better after installing the intake tube with the tune. I just got my tuned but wanna get the intake tube as well if it makes any difference.
To be honest it’s not noticeable but in order to squeeze more out of your tune.. the larger intake pipe will help increase air volume and reduce heat being that it’s made out of carbon. But it’s not needed though
What size skirts and front lip are you running
What exhaust set up do you have ?
How’s the RR racing tune treating you???
Love this damn thing.. I’m not longer trying hard to catch up to traffic no more 😂
Chris Kheluram thinking about purchasing 🤔 I have a 2009 Lexus is250 with a Injen Short ram intake and a exhaust system, can you REALLY feel the Horsepower change?
@@EmGeeMadeIt Yes, especially on the IS250 - we see 20-22whp gains along with improved throttle response
any problems 1+ years later?
Surprisingly no
What exhaust system do you have ? Axleback alone or with midpipe ?
Invidia rc350 axle back and tsudo midpipe
Would you really need a tune for this intake or you could run your car with out a tune just fine
You can just get the intake if your just looking for a upgraded intake you don’t need the tune for that 🤟🏽
@@ChrisKheluram I assume it will throw an Engine Code though yes?
What’s mods do you have on the car?
Sick shirt!
Thanks dude
Just bought my 2017 is300 fsport. Wrapped it recently but now I’m looking to do mods to increase horsepower. Do you recommend an intake system/ exhaust system? How much horsepower will it increase by?
For a 2017 I would contact RR-racing for more info on a 2017 Lexus is300 tune.. from what I know it’s only for 14-16 but I know plenty people that run 2017 is300 with a tune. If you can I would definitely get the tune and intake at the same time. Reason being a is300 is really just a detuned is350. So if you tune it you’ll be able to regain just as much HP as a 350
As for the intake.. when you install the intake you want the OEM ecu to relearn as much as possible one time. Rather then it relearning it twice. But it’s up to you it’s just a personal preference really
@@ChrisKheluram appreciate the advice 👍
You should put a pedal box on the Lexus
What exhaust do you have
How much you averaging for mpg? Lol
I only put the axle back and now I'm getting 21
For my IS250 it’s horrible lol idk the exact number though I went to PA to NY with a half tank (2.5 v6) and my cousin with his ISF (v8) was also half tank so that says something right there lol
What exhaust is that?
Quick question with the HPS did check engine light pop on?
Sorry I barely look at my YT page anymore but no check engine light
@Chris Kheluram all good. I may just need to reset. Thank you🤙
Did the intake come with the oil breather?
Yeah it does 👍🏽
@@ChrisKheluram thank you for the response! Keep up the Great Content 👌🏾! #07IS250
How much horsepower you gain with the intake ? Or you don’t
Don’t know but intakes never really make that much horsepower unless you got the air filter mounted outside the damn front bumper lol but it does help when you have the tune which still only gives you the 20+ hp
Can I install this install tube without the doing the tune?
Yeah you definitely can
😃😄😁😁😆😅 this guy already have cold 🥶air intake spend that trump money 💰 lol.. great video 📹👍
Are they shipping to EU?
I mean I believe they ship international for sure but it should say it on the website
Is it fine to get the tune when your all stock?
Definitely 🙌🏽
But you'll gain about 5 hp with K & N high flow filter and remove top filter from stock box and cut 4"×4" hole on lower box like F sport 😎👍
I learned that the filter in the cover (the one everyone is cutting out) has charcoal built into it to help avoid moisture from entering into the throttle body. Is the only reason for removing this secondary filter to allow maximum airflow?
any CEL's after the intake install? mine did..
Not at all. Try disconnecting the negative terminal on the battery and then reconnect, then make sure your intake is properly seated and tighten properly and start the car. I doubt it’s your maf but it can be easily damaged if it’s knocked around during installation. If all that fails have autozone or a mechanic OR buy a code reader and find the code that’s it’s throwing. Then get in contact with RRRACING and find out if they can help you
Our cars ECU’s tend to relearn itself when something changes or alters the air flow during driving. So if nothing changes definitely get in contact with RRRACING
@@ChrisKheluram Not True... Lexus ECU's are very very sensitive to change.......will throw a code period.
ayyye lemme get a 40 roll though
Come through and do a shoot lol
Chris Kheluram ima be done with my 2 week “self quarantine” next week let’s get it going cuz
Check engine light on the rr racing tune? Now I'm scared to get it 😭😭
If you have a cold air intake.. reason why RRRACING tells you not to remove the air box is for a efficiency and to not throw a code
@@ChrisKheluram i have a AEM CAI.....airbox isnt aesthetically eye pleasing lol
I feel you on that one 😂.. I mean try it and see but if you get a code you know where the problem could exist 👌🏽
@@ChrisKheluram 😭😭😭 guess I'll just keep to the apexi throttle body controller I dont need anymore lights....low tire pressure light, seatbelt light, airbag light...lol
@@ChrisKheluram Hey Chris I have IS250 out on an AEM Intake....throwing a code ..should I put on the Air Box and see how it goes?
Sounded like a Honda.
If anything Honda’s sound better than my 2.5 V6, but I’m fine with that ✊🏽
Wrote you on insta
I got you bro
It died because you discounted the battery...
Well for ME, when I disconnected my battery in the past on more than one occasion, it never did that... but thanks 🤟🏽
You lost 2 lb and you can't feel that. Please put the sc
No you can’t I don’t think anyone can lol when I said the throttle feels light means when I step on it, it’s immediately not laggy 😂 but thanks
Yeah im considering it I just don’t know yet 🤷🏽♂️
@@ChrisKheluram I want to see because I have same car as you. And you do very good reviews
Thanks man and it’s is pretty pricey but I am considering it
