Takeda Attack CAI Release Date?

FairBrizzleZ · 03-31-2012, 01:02 PM

I ordered my Takeda CAI back on March 7th thinking it was already available. 3+ plus weeks later and still no true release date. Has anyone else heard anything?

My Takeda Attack CAI finally shipped today after waiting almost 5 weeks for it to ship. I was about to finally just give up and cancel my order at the end of this week. I'm ready to install it with the quickness.

Nice & congrats on having your order finally shipped. I would start to be a little pissed off too.

Thanks, Broham. Hopefully, I'll have it on by the end of next week.

Takeda? They've been out for the G's for months. They're made eXtremely cheap. The couplers aren't large enough, the piping doesn't line up, and the "FILTER" just is sketchy having two intake pipes go into one filter, thinking it would over compensate for one?

Also, the piping gets smaller in diameter where you would dremel for the gen3's to fit. This literally is the same as having hte entire intake piping smaller the entire way.(the exhaust piping effect...same thing)

I vote against it...

A single filter is fine. All that matters is that gives good CFM without a pressure drop. Seriously, how many cars flowing way more air than ours use single, large filters?

Can't comment about the rest of the setup, but I beileve the aFe filters are quite good. Let us know how it works out.

aFe filters ARE quite good, I would take them over the K&N. OP thumbs up for staying patient.

15hp/16tq, 3hp less for $100 less then the stillen......seems very worth it to me.

Agreed. Everything is made in house from the air filter mediums to the aluminum piping. I've been to their facility multiple times and it's amazing to see all the equipment and machines they use to test their intake kits.
