Will this Intake Tube Kit for Lexus V8 models fit every GS F, IS 500 and RC F?

Yes, within the years HPS lists. Part number 57-1499 covers the 2016-2020 GS F, the 2022 IS 500 in Base, F Sport Performance and Launch Edition trims, and the 2015-2022 RC F, including Track Edition and Fuji Speedway Edition cars. HPS lists no other years for this part.

Is an air filter included?

No. This is a post-MAF tube, so it replaces only the rubber section after the mass airflow sensor and works with the factory airbox and fresh air scoop. The kit contains the reinforced silicone hoses, stainless steel T-bolt clamps and digital installation instructions.

How much power does the Intake Tube Kit for Lexus GS F, IS 500 and RC F add?

HPS quotes 4.6 whp and 7.2 lb-ft for the Intake Tube Kit for Lexus V8 models, along with improved throttle response, but does not say which of the three it tested, so treat the figures as a guide. The tube refines the inlet path; it is not a large power upgrade.

Does installation require any modification?

No. HPS states that no modification is required. The silicone tube takes the place of the factory rubber tube and the supplied T-bolt clamps secure each joint. Digital installation instructions are included, and an owner comfortable with basic hand tools can follow them at home.

Why replace the factory rubber intake tube with silicone?

HPS names cracked, damaged or collapsed OEM rubber intake tubes as a common cause of rough idle and vacuum leaks. The HPS tube is molded from high-temperature reinforced silicone and carries a two-year warranty, a sensible fix for an aging tube on a car kept long term.

Description

HPS Silicone Post-MAF Air Intake Tube Kit for Lexus GS F, IS 500 and RC F 5.0L

HPS’s Silicone Post-MAF Air Intake Tube Kit for Lexus GS F, IS 500 and RC F 5.0L owners replaces the factory rubber tube downstream of the mass airflow sensor on the V8 all three cars share. It is molded from high-temperature reinforced silicone, held by stainless steel T-bolt clamps, and HPS quotes 4.6 whp and 7.2 lb-ft with sharper throttle response. It suits an owner who wants a tougher inlet path and the factory airbox kept in place.

Design and Performance

Rubber intake tubes age badly, and HPS points to cracked or collapsed OEM tubes as a frequent source of rough idle and vacuum leaks. The silicone tube integrates with the factory airbox and scoop, so the stock filter stays in service. Treat it as a durability and response upgrade; the quoted gain is real but modest, and big numbers need more than a tube.

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.
