I'm leaving this here for anyone watching in the future. We send instructions with every one of these parts to avoid some of the things going on here. First, you installed the breather filter for the Carbon intake wrong. You were supposed to remove the lines from the valve cover and run the long hoses and filter to the rear of the engine. What you did here is not correct. Second, the main benefit of the heat shield is to bring cold air in to from the fender and direct it to the air box. It's not supposed to be flapping around like that. I'm only posting so people in the future do not follow this install and read the instructions instead. - RR Racing
Yea someone corrected me on this. Thanks for stopping by. Appreciate you for the post. 🙏🏾
@@hewantsmoke83 looking forward to seeing the videos in the future. You should check out our Spoiler upgrade kit. It really beefs up the back of the car like a track edition.
@@rrracingmotorsportsenginee8787 say less!! 🙏🏾💪🏾
I'm surprised you didn't just do this yourself because you knew exactly what to do every step.
I love working down there with those guys. They are good peoples.
Yeah, you definitely didn't need to cut those breather hoses. They were provided at that length to replace the other ones. They are supposed to be re-routed behind the intake manifold. The breather is not supposed to be in the front.
Yea I got it taken care of. 💪🏾🙏🏾
The hoses that was connected to the previous intake tube should've/could've been completely removed.. then you install the breather hose and route it to the back near your fire wall. The hoses were long for a reason.

🤦🏾♂️ thanks for the info. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 still learning lol
@@hewantsmoke83 all good brotha! 💯
Correct me if I'm wrong. Isn't the heat shield supposed to be installed under that plastic trim? The way it's installed still allows hot air into the intake.
Also are the hoses connected to that solenoid flip flopped?
I’ve seen some like that, but mine doesn’t reach it the side completely, but we did make some adjustments to get it to sit correctly
Nice work!!
You didn't have the directions on how to install that stuff. You have to cut a notch out of the side plastic for the shield to sit correctly and that hose gets routed along the back of the firewall.
I went back and we redid it, but after latching it all down. It’s really no need for the cut. I seen how it’s fits from a guy who did it on his car from a TH-cam video but mine didn’t go that far into the plastic. It fits flush now so I’m happy with it
Cool video
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Much appreciated
Looks like mine bro! Sweet ass car!
@@cliffcoffey6980 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Looks great
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Hey man, would u recommend this heat shield having it for some time now? Is it worth it or just a gimmick?
@@ap50 I got it for looks but it does perform and helps with bringing cool air flow in from the front fender.
Looks good
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
A little big of silicon lube to get it fitted would have made it way easier
Noted
🔥🔥
Any noticeable gains with the Heat shield?? RR claims 10-11 HP Gain. I'm hoping you are giving people the Smoke!! LOL
I notice gains with every mod I do. The car is so restricted stock. That any mod shows a difference. Oh and we definitely giving out the smoke. lol 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Nice!!!@@hewantsmoke83
❤🔥❤🔥
they won't pass you on the visual smog check with that on.
I know. I kept all my stock stuff.
Where IN SoCal you at bro, I'm in the Downey area
I’m in the IE area.
Are you going to the San Clemente outdoors meet Feb 10 ?@@hewantsmoke83
@@MegaSpooke not sure as of yet. Making business moves
Is there a throttle body spacer for this engine?
I’m not sure on that one.
Hope you don’t wreck that beautiful engine ?
Don’t plan on it. Plus Lexus has things set in place to make sure I don’t.
I wouldn't let those guys work on lawn mower
Yea they specialize in rims and tires. They were just looking out for me. I’ll be using someone else in the future for all other mods or I’ll be doing them myself.
I went back in and fix this myself tho. Very simple to do if you follow the instructions.
you should've just installed it yourself, I wouldnt bring my car in that shop
I know the owners and stuff their. They good people.
all wrong 😮😮
