I would "think" that we were still good to go as the absence of the shield isn't really our fault. Espically since we were in on the pre-order. It isn't like they would be losing tons of money. That piece of plastic probably cost them make 5-10 bucks to manufacture and by jacking up the price on a promised price. They would stand to lose more business than to just soaking up the 200-300 pre-orders that are currently out there.

 

This is BS what Takeda did. They raised the priced by $100 for a freakin' water shield!!!

Cold Air Intake System Takeda Intakes Infiniti G37 V6-3.7L<br> TA-3016P - aFe Power

 

Like I said earlier hopefully they will honor their original price. Maybe Jebperformance can chime in with some answers

 

450 i rather go with gen 3

 

hope its worth all the wait!!

 

I was thinking the same thing and that intake is proven.....I guess for me it all depends on how this pre-order goes

 

im interestedd how much?????????

 

I am checking with Takeda on daily basis. Will contact you guys when we ship your order.

All order placed with Takeda. Paid in full. Just waiting for the tracking number from Takeda. All orders except for international shipments are going to be drop shipped from Takeda.
No the Hydro Shields are sold separately. I could fabricate similar to Injen Hydro Shields.

Of coarse will be open on both ends. Let me know what you guys think.
For the dydro shiled provided by Takeda. We are only able to offer at the price they give us. We will do our best to keep the costs down.
Rain shield are sold separate. It is an option.
I think it is worth if rains a lot, in your area.
Pretty busy at Takeda.
We are negotiating rain shields cost. Will try our best to keep the costs down. In turn give members best price possible. Thank you.

 

I think we should just get our money back on these stupid intakes. They make us wait for months to develop their rain shield and now that they are complete they make us pay for them because its an OPTION??? Really? WTF? If they knew they were going to charge extra for the piece of plastic or tin then they should have shipped out all the orders that they received prior to there decision.

@Takeda - I hope you guys read this because it is completely BULL-F%$#ING-**** you are doing with this intake. Make us wait for months so you can design your damn shield because WE the consumer suggested it and now you want to charge us for it after so many people pre-ordered your intake. No wonder the most people wouldn't even consider you guys when it comes to performance.

 

This man speaks the truth and I couldn't have said it better myself

+1,000,000

 

Guys did you read JEB's post. If I read his post correctly, we will still be getting our intakes or at least the guys that pre-ordered before they made the shield. The shield is an extra cost. SO, that means all of us who pre-orderded should be receiving the intakes once Takeda ships them out. Everyone else will have to pay the higher mark-up. If you need the rain sheild then just order it later.

I am actually glad i ordered early from JEB because all of the other vendors seem like they are having to charge more. :P

 

The problem is that we( or atleast I was) under the impression that we were waiting on the rain shield that was going to be included. Not an option that will cost additional. If this was the case they could have realeased this intake a while back instead of leading us all on. I am not upset at jebperformance at all. However I do feel that Takeda aren't being fair. As I said earlier, since this was a mistake that they(Takeda) made they should step up to the plate and soak up the lost revenue and ship All pre-ordered intakes with the rain shields. I believe that that's just good business

 

Isn't the gen 3 $535?

I thought the other vendor here sells it $30 less

 

yup gen three is around 515-525 shipped...

 

RKT SHP is right I am not complaining about them sending the intake now since they aren't done yet with the shield. It is that they(Takeda) KNEW they wouldn't be done with the shield and kept pushing the release date back further. I personally called AFE Power myself and spoke with their representative and they told me that the reason for the delay was due to the designing of the rain shield so they can ship it all out at once. Never did he mention about them jacking up the price and making all the people that pre-ordered pay extra for the shield. Like RKT SHP said, if Takeda would soak up their small loss for the pre-orders and ship out the rain shields people would me more inclined to do business with them. But as of right now it looks like they could care less for their customers.
