New Style Takeda Attack Intakes $400 - Got mine!

ZBro16 · 04-18-2012, 09:37 AM

Just when I thought I had my intake stuff figured out... this is looking great!

My only reservation with this is if something happens and this company goes under... what will you do about a replacement filter? Not much to be concerned with for an intake such as K&N or Stillen (freakin autozone has replacement cone filters you can use). Not that I wish anything bad, but I just like to think long-term with my mods.

I guess just order a couple replacement filters/cleaning kits or whatnot. That's my only concern because there is no other alternative for filters with this thing unless you find a way to rig another filter onto it or something. In the grand scheme of things, this is likely a very trivial concern. I do like that it uses a dry filter. Filter oil always scares me, but then again, my only rough experience with that was a VW... and that car would throw a check engine light if you sneezed near it.

I have this intake on my G and I replaced the one filter with 2 smaller filters . The only reason I did this is due to my nitrous purge lines getting in the way of the one filter . It can be done

Wait, no bumper removal or engine modifications needed to install the intake? Of so I might have to invest in this.

The aFe Takeda TA-3017P uses a Pro Dry S filter (I have one in my truck) that does not get replaced. You wash it out, let it dry and then put it back in. No oiling required.
