In case some of you don't stroll over to myg37.com that often, here's another new intake coming out (made by aFe, but under a different name):

Yawn...

Can anyone explain to me how these short pipe intakes can provide gains of 20 ftlbs Torque?
All this intake talk makes me dizzy.

I'm still liking the Injens and Stillen 3, although I'm leaning toward Injen for the slightly easier install and the deeper sound.

 

All this intake makes me dizzy. +1

 

Looks good though.

 

Seriously though, (18hp gain and 20lbs of torque)?
Was this dyno run done with huge fans blowing into the engine bay or was this done with the hood down over a hot engine.
I don't care how they look if they sap power away from my car.

These cannot do anything more than the Fujita's. Yes, it's a dry filter but aside from that, these are almost the same damn thing.
Have we just gone full circle with our intake options?

 

Don't shoot the messenger guys LOL, at least there's more options for us now.

And I don't believe the dynos either.

 

Lol I don't see how they are different from my Fujita's and I have heat shields and K&N filters that are even bigger lol. Wish i mad 20lbFt of torque.

 

YAY for intakes. lol

 

Looks like BS.. Short and no covers just sucking in HOT air..Agreed I'm now dizzy also.. LOL

 

Wow, look at those gains. That's can't be right. It those gains are real, this is def. the intake to go with. But I don't see anything unique about its design to justify those gains. Like csquared pointed out, they don't even have heat shields. <Confused>

But at least, from an aesthetic standpoint, they look alright. Now I'm really in an intake dilemma. Stillen short ram, gen 3, injen CAI, R2C, Fujitas, JWT???
How does a brotha choose! lol.

 

Come on. What exactly is so special about these? You guys actually think these things gain that much hp/torque? You think they gain 1/2 of their claims?

 

But they have a dyno....


If it makes those gains I will buy everyone in this thread one.... If it makes a 1/4 of the advertised gains that would be good. Those kind of claims turn me off to products like this and the Status Elite intakes. I have to question any vendor that would post that also; they should know better.

 

20lbs of TQ? Please ill take 2 sets.

 

I just copied and pasted this response from Andy at HPAuto about his convo with the craig from takeda:

Update 2: Just spoke to Craig and he gave us some more insight:

1. The dyno #s of 18hp and 20lbs are proven on their Mustang Dynojet. They did 3 dyno runs on oem G37, and kept the middle #. They installed the Takeda intake, drove for 400 miles (let ecu learn new fuel curve) and did the same runs again. These are MAX #s while other competitors post PEAK #s.

2. One of the biggest areas that they gain more power than competitors is in their filter design. He mentioned their oil free filter has deeper pleets.

3. As far as heatsoak, he said that only occurs when you are at idle for a lenghty period of time, once you are under throttle and move forward, the air flow now exchanges aka no more heatsoak, which is why they felt there was no need for heatshield.

4. As a added bonus, we have been authorized to offer free filter cleaning kits for the 15 kits sold. Not sure on the exact value on these (prob 15-20 bux)...just a added bonus.

 

so good gains on a mustang dyno

if we do ricer math thats about 8 hp 10lbs on a dynojet


i think
