In an earlier post you said it came with hoses? Are these too short? Would I still need to pick up some flex hose from an auto parts store?

 

they arent flexible enough but they might work. i also had to cut those down as well as the oem Y tubing to make things fit.

 

if you don't mind me asking, where did you get your R2C intake?

 

Kyle over at Import Parts Pro. Myg37 sponsor, dont know about here.

 

ced357 and jack, thanks! I found all the add on you guys suggested are very needed for my package. It sounds good and fit very well. only leave to do now is drive it around

 

on a 370z, takeda got -2hp and +1lbs

so takeda stands for take da shiet out

 

I do felt there are more power. maybe because I have 6MT? sounds good again, and not too loud under 3k.

 

the guy called takeda and they said they will look into designing heat shields now.

 

TAKEDA advanced FLOW engineering is a great company. they willing to work with you to resolve any problems you might have with there product and A+ customer service! thx!!!

 

So, in general if one was to buy an intake system which would be the better option for a sedan. Takeda? R2C? Injen?

 

I'm a little biased towards the Takeda, simply because it's a lot cheaper than the others. It also sounds awesome and I have had great success with my previous afe intakes. I can say it's better than the k&n but I've never owned the injen or r2c. I'm sure the people who own the injen and r2c could give input on their intakes.

 

Happy to report still running strong, no problems.

 

same here... since then I also got invidia cat back. prefect combo

 

No problems here as well. Also my friends are still shocked every time they get in my car as to how great it sounds. I love it.

 

Takeda is a great budget option for sure and like Jack said, it looks great as well. I've had Injen CAI and currently running JWT, but I am not impressed with the JWT at all. Sure they sound great, but I'd still prefer the ease of cleaning the dry filters anytime, anyday. There ate currently 3 different intakes that provide dry filter applications: Takeda, Injen SRI, and R2C. IMO, they are about the same in terms of performance (You won't get much outta intakes for these motors anyway), but I'd go with either Injen or Takeda mainly because their prices are very competitive and affordable.

As for me, I'd still like to go back to Injen CAI especially because they offer the newer batches with dry Amsoil filters. They don't only sound good, but look great in the engine bay. Only thing is that they are $$$$ compare to the SRIs that are on the market today.
