aFe Takeda Retain Stage-2 Cold Air Intake - Lexus RC F (USC10) / GS F (URL10) / IS 500 (USE30) - 5.0L V8
The aFe Takeda Retain Stage-2 cold air intake keeps the factory airbox on the Lexus RC F, GS F and IS 500 5.0L V8 and upgrades everything inside and after it. A high-quality ABS housing with a carbon fibre look snaps into the factory airbox using the factory clips and mounting points, and holds a large 5-inch tall conical filter without any hardware thanks to aFe's flange retention design.

How to install the aFe Takeda Stage-2 intake on the Lexus RC F / GS F
A one-piece 3-1/2 inch mandrel-bent aluminium tube, powder coated in electric sparkle blue to match the intake manifold, carries air to the throttle body. aFe's dyno testing shows up to +11 kW (+15 hp) and +23 Nm. All clamps, the silicone coupler and hardware are included.
Options: Pro DRY S uses dry, oil-free three-layer synthetic media that you wash and refit without oiling. Pro 5R uses oiled five-layer cotton gauze media for the most airflow and usually the biggest gains. aFe lists the same gains for both.
Note: Suits the 2UR-GSE 5.0L V8 in the RC F (2015-on), GS F (2016-2020) and IS 500 (2022-on); for the IS 500, aFe lists the Pro 5R version only. Installation by a professional is recommended.
