You inspired me to do this to my gs350! I bought the rr-racing intake with k&n filter and cut a square in my stock airbox. Car sounds awesome
That’s great!! Sometime you gotta improvise 😎
German viewer - but I too wish a happy independence day for the USA!
I have a 08 IS350 and i love that car, looks good even tho it’s a 11 year old car.
Your car just gets better every video
Car sounds and looks great! My 3rd Gen is now jealous!
Great video, love the gimbal! Would love if you would do a long driving video with exhaust sounds, fly-bys, accelerations, etc. Love that exhaust sound!
Thanks! I will have to do an updated video, but here is one I made a few months ago: th-cam.com/video/GRIMqyeT18c/w-d-xo.html
Dude I've watched every IS video on your channel n holy crap....I've e never wanted an is350 so bad 😫 I already know how to do so much to one because of your videos and I dont even have one yet LOL
Keep up the videos! Cant wait to see how the scion turns out
Much love from Canada ❤
BTW what song was that in your intro?
I went with the K&N system for mine. The tube on mine is metal. So it gives it a very unique sound and the metal has some sort of ceramic coating or something on it for thermal proofing. I went as far as to wrap the intake with thermal tape anyway tho.
Yup, I used to have a metal tube but it got hot, even with the thermal/ceramic coating.I like the carbon fiber for the looks and it keep it a bit cooler as well. I bet the KN sounds nice! See any power gains? I kept the stock box (essentially a cold air intake as well) for simplicity and it sounds great still. People have shown good dyno results with it as well.
@@LensOfMartin The outside of the tube always gets hot. But I pulled the filter off and shoved my hand up inside the intake right after I had just driven home from work and it was cool to the touch on the inside. That was the first thing I did after I got it on there, just to make sure.
As for the difference. I don't think it made a noticable difference up in the high revs. But I did notice an instant change in the throttle response, and low end performance. The car requires less peddle to get the same amount of go, and seemed a lot more interested in going after I changed to the cone filter.
And, my best guess for the reason why that is the case, isn't the intake tube, it's the cone filter. The reason cone filters are better is because the air comes into the intake from all sides equally and doesn't need to make any turns or hit anything that would cause vortexes to form inside the intake. The main reason a stock airbox is bad is because the air has to go upward first, and make a 90 degree turn toward the engine. Not necessarily because the tube or filter is restrictive.
Hey man, you better get hood pins for that carbon fiber hood. Don’t want it to lift up going freeway speeds
That would look like a laughing hood
Carbon hood.... are u building a IS350 track edition?
Maybe...maybe not...guess we will have to see
Updated, he did not. He bought a badass Camaro instead
Hey man, I wanted to thank you for this DIY. I just installed the F Sport intake on my 2012 350, and I’m loving it!!!
Your car sounds amazing. 😁
Thinking of getting this and the F sport filter for my 220d. These were never offered in the UK and Europe!
Hi there, I want to upgrade my intake to the same RR Racing tube that you got. However, my state requires SMOG check. I was wondering if the RR Racing intake tube will pass SMOG?
You have to be near Landisville. I swear that’s the same route that SRK Cycles Test their bikes...
Landisville PA? I'm located near Wrightsville, PA
Sounds really cool , did you gain any HP milage etc ..?
I couldn’t help but notice the rear bumper splitter. Which ones are those?
Nice 👍🏿 wish there was bay space for two forced induction snails 🐌
What if I just buy the f sport lower box and keep the rest stock, would that cause any issues?
That would probably be fine too
When im in drive....my motor idle....
When i put ignition off and back on... the idling stops and motor is back normal.
This i have only when i drive in the city.
If im on highway i have no idling problems when i stop.
Could this be a lambasensor dirty?
Could be a dirty throttle body, air sensor, spark plugs....it's hard to say. Could be from carbon buildup as well.
Hey Marty after the tune how much power did the car gain? What mods did you have on it at the time? I’m getting some PPE headers for my 2IS 350 and I have a full 2.5” piping midpipe and axle back, along with the carbon intake and I’m gonna do the cutout of the intake. Just curious what power numbers I should expect to gain after this? Thanks
Nice wheels bro
I have a Injen intake on my 3is. Sounds wicked, but I don't notice any performance gains.
clamslammer have one on my 2IS 350. Makes a lot of noise but if anything I lost some low end power. Needs a heat shield fabricated for it
Hi, I'm thinking about getting an Is 350, but not sure which year model is the best from 2006-2012.
Just get the newer 2nd gen 350 rwd cause it's more updated. If you have extra money you can get ISF.
Yeah, newer the better really! Depends on your budget. just stick with the 2nd gen/6 speed if you want it more aggressive...the 3rd gen times are a little slower due to the 8 speed trans being less aggressive. ISF has the power and good quick 8 speed though!
@@LensOfMartin Cool thank you!
Hey Nice car.. Where can I grab those rear Canards? Do you have the link by any chance? Nice build
f sported out
definitely
The intake pipe you use. Where could i get one. Been looking online but they cost so much!
Only available on RR Racing website for $120-140
@@LensOfMartin Does it "need" a tune using that intake? Im not in it for power....more for sound and looks.
808 G8GT some people have gotten a check engine light - but I never did without a tune
How much for the old black hood Marty ? Or you not selling it ? Yet
This is the air intake of a f sport trim package yes? And not the isf
Only for 06-13 is250 and 350 F sport and non F sport models not the IS-F. The intake on the IS F is totally different
'08 GS350 AWD here....any thoughts on this part fitting in my car??? would love to put it in...if not going to mod it. :)
I'm going to buy the F sport lower airbox for my 07 GS350 and try it out
@@HarrisChoudhrywell how did it work out
Is your bumper a conversion to F-sport or is it stock? I've been looking for one for my is350c
Hey Marty, I’m looking into purchasing a is350 in the future and I would like to know how much you have spent in all for how your car is currently. I’m inspired by your mods :) Thanks!
Hey there! Awesome. I am working on a video that will go over all of my mods and the cost
I would have to say about 3 grand.
Marty Motoring Sounds awesome, I’m looking forward to it!
Jas Joker Welp I have a lot of saving to do 💀
Bad ass ride Marty!!
What’ the name off the intro song ?
I need to know what that track is...
Would the stock air box work better with a aftermarket intake ?
What’s the manufacturer code for the f sport box? And did you have to buy the f sport filter?
whered you get that hood D: its nice asf!
Nice
So what do IS guys do about the leds on the needles being out. I have it too and could use a fix or new needles...
Stephen Oberlander at this point , making an upgrade to the F model cluster is a better option
What brakes kit you use??? Any help
My gauge needles are COMPLETELY out :-(.
I found a guy here in the Bay Area that can replace them!
K Kumar mine too ! who repaired it for you ? i’m from the bay area as well (how much was the repair ?)
K Kumar update us on this ! Also in Bay Area I need help with the needles
Did you remove your fender liners?
I did, since they were worn, torn and one fell off 😂 I’d like to replace them or coat the inside
Sounds sick! Btw Marty how else is the IS doing since the trans fluid change?
Doing great! Shifts awesome still
Awesome! Makes me feel good about doing it on my ES. I plan on doing it twice with 1k driven in between. Any thoughts Marty?
Hey man what’s the differences with the Fsport cold air intake line than the original rubber one it came with cause you didn’t use the cone air filter
where do i get that grille! (for 2012)
got it from ebay, from south korea
Would this work well on a Is250?
It should!
Hey Marty, how do you feel about 3is front bumper conversion for the 2is?
At some point i want to get my 350 wrapped, and do the 3is front end conversion.
Cheers man!
They really don't look bad imo
Looks sort of oem
They look cool, but it's cheaper and easier for me to keep the 2nd gen look, which I don't mind at all!
You need some red interior 🔥
Does anyone else's is350 burns oil. Could use some help to fix my issue please.
They tend to a little bit by nature. Using full synthetic oil with additives can help sometimes.
why didnt you go for a cold air intake?
By design, this is already naturally a cold air intake
@@LensOfMartin but that sound you get??? the rumble is just amazing when you add one of them. I have never tried the f sport airbox mod, will that give the same rumble
Nithin Jacob I think you mean the induction sound? Yes the F Sport box gives you a nice deep induction sound
How much liter/km does it drink when you're driving normal ?
Well for the USA we use gallons and miles per gallon, so I will try to convert it. Normal driving with combined highway and city, I get around 24mpg. That is about 10.2034 kilometers per liter.(Thanks Google, lol)
How did you put in your windshield sprayers on your seibon hood? I cant put them in and they are just dangling in my engine bay lol
Hey when you took out the stock lower air box, what kind of screws or bolts are holding it in place? That box is exactly as the 3rd generation and I want to put my air box back but it’s missing the bolts.
They are 2 pretty long bolts but I’d assume you can find them at a hardware store
Where’d you buy your rear bumper diffusers?(:
Anybody know if this will work on a 2015 3IS?
Hey guys so today while i stopped at a red light my 2010 is250 did that “shiver” thing you know like it wants to stall but doesn’t. Rpms go up and down at the red light mind you it still drives smooth. Only did that at the red light or in park. Any ideas what that is?
Mine does this occasionally too, I put a catch can and drive with a lead foot and use gdi cleaner but at 112k miles it’s probably pretty dirty with carbon build up, at least it runs well.
Probably carbon build up or you need new spark plugs.
Does the f sport trim come with this already?
I believe so, but I think it was optional.
@@LensOfMartin I checked ours and it dosent have an f sport air box, so where can i get one at a good price?
What intro song is this?
Good video
why do you have a mightycarmods sticker, you dont even live in australia????????
They ship worldwide and love their channel!
How much dinero 💰
Should have got a g37s rwd sedan with the 7 speed automatic transmission
JK (JUST KIDDING) That Is 350 looks so clean I would drink it's dirty soap water from the car WASH!
