Which Lexus models does the Intake Tube Kit for Lexus F Sport cars fit?

HPS lists the Intake Tube Kit for Lexus F Sport cars with the 3.5L V6 only: the 2013-2020 GS350, 2016-2020 and 2024-2025 IS300, 2014-2025 IS350, 2016-2025 RC300 and 2015-2025 RC350. Standard trims and 2.0L turbo versions are not listed for part number 27-198.

Is an air filter included with the kit?

No. The HPS kit replaces only the intake tube after the mass airflow sensor and works with the factory air box and fresh air scoop, so the factory filter stays in service and is replaced on the normal Lexus schedule.

Does installation require tuning or any modification?

No. HPS states that no modification is required and that the kit does not require tuning. The aluminum tube takes the place of the factory rubber tube, secured with the supplied silicone couplers, T-bolt clamps and mounting hardware, and the manual covers each step with clear photos.

What is the HPS intake tube made from?

The tube is mandrel-bent aluminum at 3-1/4 inch diameter, joined by HPS high temperature reinforced silicone couplers and held with stainless steel T-bolt clamps. HPS says the aluminum gives good heat dissipation and long lasting durability compared with the restrictive factory rubber tube.

Which finishes are offered, and what warranty applies?

BA offers part number 27-198 in black, blue, red and polished. The finish changes only the look of the tube under the hood; the couplers, clamps and hardware are the same in every version. HPS lists a two-year warranty on the kit.

Description

HPS Post-MAF Air Intake Tube Kit for Lexus GS350, IS300, IS350, RC300 and RC350 3.5L

HPS’s Post-MAF Air Intake Tube Kit for Lexus GS350, IS300, IS350, RC300 and RC350 3.5L F Sport models replaces the factory rubber intake tube with a 3-1/4 inch mandrel-bent aluminum tube. The stock air box and fresh air scoop stay in place, so the V6 still draws through its factory filter. HPS shapes it for throttle response and power delivery, which suits an owner who wants a sharper feel without a full intake swap.

Design and Performance

This is a modest bolt-on, not a full cold air intake. Smooth aluminum replaces a restrictive rubber duct and sheds heat well, while reinforced silicone couplers and stainless T-bolt clamps handle the joints. HPS publishes no dyno figures for 27-198, so treat it as a response and finish upgrade for a stock or lightly modified V6 rather than a source of big peak gains.

Features

Mandrel-bent aluminum tube replaces the restrictive factory rubber intake tube
Works with the factory fresh air scoop and air box to keep drawing cool air
HPS high temperature reinforced silicone couplers

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
