No one except one post seems to be bragging about their Takeda install.

Could it be for the same reason as me??

It fits like $#it, and had to return it??

I love mine, looks fricken awesome behind the grill, all lined up fine (never took the bumper off) No rattles, no problems with the rubber. I cant hear it because my exhaust is to damn loud. MY buddies say when i gun it then can hear it from outside the car though. It really opened up space in the engine bay as well. Not sure about power ect since i didnt do a dyno, going for a tune on july 29th

No, I was so pissed with two attempts, I failed to document it.

I'm an old ASE auto tech, and if I have issues, others will undoubtedly have nore.

Kenny,

One major issue is the the rubber elbow adapter is wedged in the core support opening, causing it to distort. The opening on the engine side is over 1/2" too large, thus a clamp will cause it to bunch while tightening.

I would do it sooner. If only to check you A/F ratio.
