This AEM performance cold air intake system lets the 5.0L V8 in specific Lexus RC F models breathe more freely than the restrictive factory air intake housing, adding horsepower and torque. Air enters through an oversized AEM Dryflow synthetic washable air filter, with mandrel-bent aluminum intake tubing finished in durable gunmetal gray powder coat. A custom-shaped heat shield with a carbon fiber lid is included. Some AEM air intakes are not legal for sale or use in California and other states adopting California emission standards, while others are 50 state legal; confirm legal status for this specific vehicle application before purchase.
