Either way for my money I would go with the Takeda Stage 2 CAI. Probably in the same ball park as Stillen G3's as far as gains and you don't have to mod or cut anything to install them. Your plastic and washer fluid reservoir are safe.
How many people that have it have ran dynos? Just curious because I haven't seen any posted, or any gains even listed for them..?

That's just it ZERO that I know about at least. But the design is identical minus the filters/filter used. aFe makes some good filters. I don't think it would be considerably less than the Stillen or Injen's.

Sometimes the lack of information, is information in of itself.


Trust me, not all designs are the same, even if they look almost identical.


I'd honestly recommend going with a known, trusted, proven name if you're not fearful of incurring the cost of getting one, not being 100% happy and buying another to replace it.

I fully understand that and the concern that comes with it. I am confident however that aFe teaming with Takeda and then Greddy buying into the design that it will perform with the others.

Just remember that at one point that name was an unkown, untrusted, unproven name that someone took a chance on in the beginning and got good results. Then the masses flocked to it as word got out.

People usually do that when it's a Good word.


I do see that the Greddy design is almost identical to the Takeda design... I wonder if there is some paperwork being exchanged in terms of legality?

The reason the Greddy looks almost identical to the Takeda is because it is. It seems they have entered into a partnership of sorts.

Interesting... Although since neither care to have published independent dynos, I can't really say anything on their Actual performance gain.

It's exactly the same. It's just private labelled.

I could name one or two other intake systems on the market that aren't made by the company whose name is on the box. At least one of which would probably make you raise your eyebrow. (Just one eyebrow, mind you)
