Just bought my first supra last night. I don't know too much about the car, or cars at all in that manner. So this may be a weird question. I popped the hood and i noticed that he had the lexus AMF put in. However, is there suppose to be an air filter attached to the end of the amf? I will post pictures later to explain more if this doesn't make sense.
Lexus AFM and air filter...? help...

Ouch, you bought that and are admitting to having no idea about anything? Unfortunately I see a lot of very expensive pain in your future.
Oh, and unless AMF is a new acronym I'm not aware of, it's AFM you want.

well you really want a air filter on there
and as far as fitment there should be enough room for a filter because plenty of people are running the lexus afm with a air filter (i don't know exactly because i don't have one but i thought it was the same length as the stock 7m-gte afm just the lexus is larger in diameter)
but i mean if for some reason there isn't much room but i don't see why there shouldn't be you could get like a greddy type air filter even thought they aren't very good but it has that mushroom shape
and yeah i assumed he was talking about the afm haha

Unfortunately your included picture does not really assist us in identifying if what we think your question is really what you're asking. Since you've openly admitted to not knowing much about the car, or any cars, are you sure it's a Lexus AFM?
If it is either a stock or a Lexus AFM there should not be any fittiment issue with any air filter setup that is designed to work with the stock AFM. The Lexus AFM is not any longer, and if it is the difference is negligible, just bigger in diameter. I know the K&N FIPK bolts right to it with the included adapter. Any of the other intakes designed for the stock AFM should bolt right up.
Running without an air filter can have major drawbacks. You'll accelerate damage to the turbocharger, as well as the rest of the engine when you start sucking in dirt and dust from the road.
Next time you’re looking for some advice and want to include a picture, please include a picture of the area in question. Your picture has the same effect as if I had e-mailed my doctor a picture of my foot and asked him about this rash on my arm.

Yeah, the stock K&N FIPK fits it.
Your picture of the AFM and filte would be better if you actually took a picture of the AFM and filter.

Thanks for the comments. I will be posting a new picture asap. Those pictures were taken by the guy that I bought the car from, and didn't show the afm. I have heard that some people drill into the front end a bit to place larger filters, with a better picture you can see what i am talking about.
Seen is the Suprasport Lex replica. That is the 7M FIPK adapter, and stock accordian hose on it.

You'll be fine with the FIPK. Definitely leave it parked till the filter shows up. Want to preserve that 300 mile engine. Looks like you got some toys under the hood, should be a fun ride.

This is my Lexus with a $10 Driftmotion filter. It does touch the front panel, but is not too bad.
