Takeda Attack Intakes $400 - Just Ordered Mine
 

I posted this in the intake/exhaust section also but I think this area may get more traffic so I just wanted to let everyone in on the deal. Hope the admins don't get mad lol... But anyhow, I just ordered my new Takeda Attack intakes for the Z a few minutes ago. Auto Anything has them cheaper than anybody with free shipping and they have 2 great discount codes going right now. The 10% off one expires in a few days but the $40 off is good throughout March. And to beat that if you can find it cheaper anywhere else in a years time, send Auto Anything the link and info of the cheaper and they will pay the amount of difference from their advertised price and the competitors.

So I guess after all the scam bs I went through everything came out terrific. I got scammed for $400 with the used G3's, got my money back, found this deal the same day, and it only cost me $0.95 for brand new Takeda's over the used junk. My total was $400.95 shipped to my house :happydance:

Everything happens for a reason... Hit that rep button for finding this killer deal guys... Pretty good for a rookie Z owner :tup:

Same price for a lower quality system... Whatever works. :ugh2:

Looking forward to installed pics.

How do you figure that?

Don't worry about that. From my knowledge I have not seen any dynos from this intake on the site so he is assuming. Lots of G3 huggers on here. I have some technical questions about the single filter from a fluid dynamics perspective but it could potentially be just as good as the G3's only testing will tell. Do a pre and post install dyno to give the forum some actual data to go off rather than assumptions. Hope it works well for you.

ummm... where do the MAF's go? Way up by the TB's?

Oh I ain't worried about his $.02. You know what they say about opinions, they're just like A holes, everyone's got one lol. And I wish I could do a before and after dyno but there is no dyno here in farm country :shakes head:

lol, i went looking for the slot myself. hahaha. perhaps this is just a generic rendering...

so having a single long filter is better than dual cones? :confused:

dunno.... seems to me there would be competing draw forces for each side of the intake.

kinda like a chinese finger trap!

and the tubes rocking from the engine... the piping and couplers will need to take the entire force as the tubes would not rock individually to release movement.

not sure...maybe it's better that way?

Maf slots are located close to the tb's, you can see the indentation

It's not an opinion. Do your research. :tiphat:

:icon18: hahaha! well, at least the filter can pull in fresh air.

Its very difficult to say how the fluid dynamics of this will work but I do have similiar concerns. I think if I were to run this intake I would install a blockoff plate directly in the center of the large filter.

Well enlighten us please.... I could find nothing comparing the 2

Never seen anyone with this. Thanks for being the guinea pig. Rep+. Keep us posted and if you can. Et to a dyno and give us the skinny.

Get before and after dynos :tup:

Looks neat.

I have this on my G and sold the Gen 3 to get it .. The fitment on the Takeda is way better with no rubbing issues .. The thinking behind the one filter is more surface area .. The only thing that I did not like about the kit is the couplers .. Cheap and tear easily .. Purchased some cheap eBay 4 ply and could not be happier .. Good choice op ..

Interesting.

Dyno's from each intake??? It looks cool but idk if Im sold on the single filter unit being better than the Gen 3's dual filters.

Thanks man.... Seems like a lot of G3 users don't like the idea that something might come close to their "superior " intake. Afe makes darn good products, I don't see where this will be any different. I'm sure they have done their homework. Even the engineers here at work agree that with the large surface area and both being connected, it should make one heck of a balanced, equal pull of airflow and a lot of it.

I like the idea of anything that makes more power! If its better than the Gen 3, awesome. I just wonder about the single filter. I would love to see some test results.

I'm looking at the pic again, and I think I see a squarish cutout on the underside of the piping, near the TB. That's kinda far away from the intake point, no?

Closer to the TB might be a more practical place to measure the Air Temps for accuracy before they hit the manifold. However, there is a greater risk of heat soak that far up over the exhaust manifold.... just my :twocents:

the maf location is pretty clear in the picture, the opening is in the bottom of the pipe, similar to the IC piping from GTM kits. looks pretty good, I would be curious to see the before/after dyno.

I remember seeing development pictures of this awhile ago. In for dyno results.

Interesting design, and $400 is a killing price!

:tup:

In for pics and Dyno too.

Greater risk of heat soak???... Or do you mean actually getting the correct IAT1 temp before it enters the TB? I'm guessing our cars also have a IAT2 or downstream air sensor as well to read the manifold temp so what does it matter? And if we don't, it needs to be placed as close to the TB as possible for accuracy.

Guys there won't be a dyno before and after from me... I'm in farm country, no dyno's around here.

I don't think the single filter design is an issue... as long as the filter stays clean it is always going to suck air through the membrane over trying to pull it from the competing TB. I'd be more concerned about the flex/shock of the system than anything else. That filter could take a potential beating if there isn't enough flex and it might eventually tear. I'm interested to see how this goes.

Suckers are now giving 15% off stuff till Friday. They just sent me the code EMR1212T so that makes them $378.67 shipped... Dang good deal. Thinking about ordering me some Eibach sway bars for $170.
