K&N vs Takeda intake
 

hello Z lovers,
I can't decided on between K&N and Takeda intake.
Prices are pretty close, and I guess performance too?? I'm not trying to spend a lot on intake as my budget won't allow me too, (wish I can get Stillen Gen3) so I must decide either between Takeda or K&N. What do you guys think?? Any opinions or suggestions??

I recently found out that you can buy K & N Drop in Filters & Post MAF Tubes and the gains will be +15-16HP (dyno'd)- Not only that but the drop ins are about $100 bucks + tubes $127.00= $227 for a cold air intake- not hot like the typhoons

I think i am going to jump on this soon. I really wanted some cool looking Intakes, but these really wont look all that bad

That's what I'm going for also, I've dropped in the K&N's, and was doing the Z1 MAF tube install, however, had to go back to stock tubes till tomorrow, because we gotta cut the Z1 tubes since they're too long. So friendly heads up on that...

"the drop ins are about $100 bucks + tubes $127.00= $227"
K&N intake is around about 280~300 in average. so instead of spending $227 for it, isn't it better just getting a legit intake???

i can tell you i have felt the oem air boxes after having the ac on and they were pretty hot.so i can imagine how much hot air the k&n typhoons would be sucking in with the ac on or being held in traffic.now if you dont have to run the ac and be held in traffic,then the oem air boxes will stay cool to the touch.i would love to have the k&n typhoons as i think they look great.i allso like to run the ac when its 95+ out.which means heat soak and this engine needs all the cool air it can get.i might get them and run them in the winter time only though lol

I never turn AC on eventhough it is 100+ out haha Idk i just don't like turning AC on since I love my windows rolled down and hear my exhaust :) but f*** I like Takeda short ram better than Typhoon somehow XD

oh trust me,i hate running the ac too but as hot as its been here where i live lately, (105-109),i have no choice :shakes head:

haha I feel you bro XD

Just fitted the "HKS R-Suction" system,power is up a bit.

Man I must be getting old... I love my AC

I love my AC too! When its 117 its great. & I cant see running Hot air intakes in AZ. I don't have the money for Stillens.

But i do agree that the looks of the short rams are dope

Where did you find that? You can't just add the numbers from multiple mods together. ;)

"The Stillen G3 claims 18.33whp, Takeda Stage 2 Intake claims 15whp, K&N Typhoon 13-15whp & the K&N Replacement Filters plus Post-MAF Intake Hose (10whp for filters & 6.77whp for Post-MAF) 16.77whp"

Mod hp numbers don't stack dude. You can't simply add them together.

I think I should just go with HPS silicone MAF hose. :)
