I'm interested in purchasing an AFE Takeda CAI, I've heard good things about them along with the Stillen Gen 3 reason for not choosing Stillen is the $800. price tag.

It's been an ever so long debate on if it's worth spending the money on an aftermarket intake on the HR and later motors most say the stock setup works best but lately I have heard some positive things about CAI available from companies like Stillen, AFE and Injen.

I'd like to hear your experiences with any of the above mentioned, I'm leaning toward the AFE Takeda mainly because it's the best price *just to note I will be getting the UPREV tune in the spring.

Let the debate begin LOL.

 

Gain a bit up top, lose a bit down low, sound & appearance is improved, just have to determine if that's worth the premium. I have the Injen SRI, which uses the OEM runners, it's not as prone to heat soak as the SRIs that use metal tubes. And for about $300 you get the nice sound, and looks good in the bay. For me, I wouldn't pay more than $300 for what an aftermarket intake does for the VQs.
