Takeda Cold Air Intake System
Installed mine the other day. Instal was easy only took me two hours. I can sort of hear the intake when i gun it, but my exhaust overpowers most things in the cabin as well. It pulls a bit harder but im almost fully bolted on, so i need to get a tune first (which i am on july 29th)
The Intake is beautiful under the hood and even from the front of the car. When driving down the road there is a noticable diffrence from before the intake. There are no rattles and no cutting at all. It is a fairly straight forward install.
Problems..... At least on my kit it seems that the coupling that goes through the frame is too big on the engine side as there is a noticable gap(maybe a half inch or more) around the pipe. I contacted the vendor who I purchased the kit from and asked in the threads if anyone else is having this issue or not. I am not sure if my is an isolated case or not. However, regardless of what happens I will keep everyone posted.

btw for anyone looking to order these, I just bought the last one in stock from AdvanceSpeedShop.com - Performance Auto Parts and Accessories for Domestic and Import Vehicles! - for $343, nice and knowledgeable guys as well. Be sure to tell him you're from this forum, potential group buy discounts in the future!
He said his distributor still had at least 5 that were ready to ship. When I talked to AFE yesterday wait time was about 4 weeks with 40 something units on back order.
Please let me know if you have the same coupling issue.
Thanks for the update. My kit should be here Friday I'll let you know if I see the same coupling issue.
