As for my Z, there are noticeable gains and although purely subjective, would bet that I picked up additional hp in the mid to high teens.
This was my first mod and should therefore see the most gains. No exhaust upgrade until after 4 weeks. I would probably not see as much gain when that's installed. I noticed you added your Takeda last - after your berk hfc. At that point my understanding is you would see the least gain.
Additionally, the fact that Greddy is having AFE make these speaks to the quality of their product. Would have loved to see a cold air intake shootout between these products.

Hey, I don't mean to threadjack and in no way making any assumptions, just wanted to get info out there for folks who are considering this intake for performance gains. Just wanted to clear up that I swapped my Ark cbe out for Berk cbe not hfcs.
Although different designs, I mentioned BMW to give readers an insight about the company's products. I should also add (if I remember right), people on the Lexus forums say they made less power with the ISF takeda's and were recommending staying stock.
I wish I did a before after comparison dyno so I could have some concrete evidence if the intakes made power or not. But for now we just have to rely on yours, mine, and everyone else who has gotten the intakes experiences to make decisions.
And 1st, I got mine from modbargains, talk to Frank and he'll hook you up with a good price.
