aFe Power Takeda Intake System

chrischhorn · 04-15-2012, 09:09 AM

I myself was probably gonna go with it. Same design as stillen (for the most part) but just different filter. I hear that some people had issues with the coupler tearing during install but i dont see that really as much as a problem as just needing to be more careful during install. Should make very similar power to stillen as the design is almost identical. Just different filter and its a little cheaper.

I like the way it looks. Do you guys think there is a huge difference b/w the Stillen & Takeda? I still have a ways to go before I decide to go with a CAI. I heard you want to wait until you have at least 5k miles on your car before installing a CAI. I like the way Takeda looks more than the Stillen CAI. I am not a huge fan of cutting something out of the front bumper. Does the Takeda CAI come with a bypass value, or is that something that you have to purchase separately & install? Is there huge differences is sounds & performance gains from short, or long CAI's?
