$410... ouch! JWT popcharger @ $299. (FYI)

these have reported high gains......someone got to bust this myth

thread on this here:
http://www.the370z.com/intake-exhaus...take-370z.html

It seems like people are hesitant to pick this up without an independent dyno, and now seeing the price, I would definitely need one!

That's full retail price, my price is much lower:tup:

Yes I know. That's why I didn't post the claimed gains.LOL I will call them Monday to see if I can get some info in the dyno numbers.

Not trying to be pissy here, but... Others have advertised their actual prices right on this forum. In fact, if you look a few threads down in this category, you'll see the very Dealer I was talking about. He's advertising his actual price for all to see.

Why wouldn't you?

If these got over 12hp on an independent dyno, I'd buy right now.

Its because i wanted to give the best price to the forum members without breaking agreement with manufacturers regarding allowed prices posted on our website or forums. Unfortunately, i can not post the price i want to give to you guys:tup:

Most short rams on the VQ37 that some of my customers got about 8-12 whp. I think thats more realistic. I could be wrong. Hopefully i get a local customer who might want to volunteer for independent dyno.

I do know this from experiences from the G37 guys with intakes as there was a long debate there regarding intakes. The ECU needs to learn the new set up. If someone does any independent dyno, The ECU needs to be reset and at least a minimum of 8 dyno runs to get an accurate readout of the intakes

Hmmm... "agreements" (?) I should probably stop now.... but really?! Isn't this a free market? You're trying to compete with other suppliers, aren't you? I'm also in the re-sale parts business up here in Canada. Never had anything like an "agreement" to "bind" me from re-selling at my chosen price. It's what the market will bear (also called free-enterprise).

(Again, I'll stop now.)

I guess Canada is different. Feel free to call manufacturers like INJEN or HKS or TAKEDA and you'll know what im talking about

I thought the good 'ol USA is where free-enterprise started. Thanks for the freindly back & forth though. I really will stop now.:icon17:

I personally prefer pm'ing the prices. Rule no. 1 Vendor classified rules:

Vendors/Sponsors usually give out prices via pm. NEVER post this price publicly. There is a reason it was sent via pm.

But the stillen short tubes, that look exactly like these only netted 2. I don't mean to sound like a douche, I just dont get what the big difference could be between the 2. Any thoughts?

lol Its ok i don't mind. We really do have what they call MANUFACTURER ASSISTED PRICING. I know of a few dealers that lost accounts with companies because they were advertising lower than what they should. I don't mind explaining situations like this so the consumers understand why i always post "pm me for best prices":tup:

Lou, here's a dyno video I stumbled upon :driving:
YouTube - 09 Nissan 370Z Takeda Air Intake Dyno

thanks AK

damn that sounds sick

Looks might be similar but a lot of different aspects of an intake can actually make a difference in gains such as tube size and length, venturi/velocity stack design, filter size and flow measurements. I don't know the details of the long tubes but one thing i know for sure is they are still using oiled filters and so does JWT. Takeda pro dry filters are non oiled and open to debate, some swears that they are better. I know for sure that the dry filters are easier to clean and it takes less amount of time to dry than the oiled ones

Personally i just wished they made heat shields like they did for the 350z. Maybe i can convince them to make it as an option:tup:

Can you PM me a price shipped to 38017?

Thanks

You got PM:tup:

Pro Dry AFE Filters are amazing. I installed one in my 2008 Trail Blazer SS instead of the K&N. I was very skeptical about its performance over the K&N, since the K&N has always been my go to filter. The AFE Filters performs great; it really wakes up the LS2 6.0. Best part about them is the cleaning. I installed it about 20,000 miles ago so I thought it would be good time to clean it. All you have to do is take out the filter and squirt the filter from the inside out with a water hose and let air dry. I know they say do it at least every 50,000 but that thing was filthy after 20,000. You can get it 100% clean, and since it is so easy to do I plan on doing it every 10,000 (After seeing how dirty it was at 20,000 miles).

I am really thinking about installing this Takeda intake on my 370z, my only concern is heat. We already know this engine gets hot. I hit 240 F oil temps daily now that it is mid July in Texas (Outside temps 101F), not sure what the temp is in the engine bay where these puppies would be installed.

Also how long does it take to install. I am contemplating putting the stock unit back in for oil changes and warranty work. I don’t want to void my warranty, the wife made me get the extended 5yr 100,000 mile.

Props to the wife on a good call, its always great to have an extended warranty especially for "Sprited Enthusiast Drivers" :icon18::icon18:

Heat should not be much of an issue there is a constant flow of air going into the engine bay as you drive so heat soak itself will not be obvious. The only time you might get some heat soak is during extended hard driving and i mean road racing scenarios, other than that you should be fine. Installation doesnt take very long its pretty straight forward. If you guys need any more info on this intake system just drop me or Lou and PM and we'll take care of it for you guys, Thanks again for all the interest!

anyone get this dynoed yet?

^ probably, but no one wants to show us

i really like the sound, and if it got atleast 12 whp then i would probably put it on...

^ pretty much the same thing I said in post #8 two months ago. guess a couple sales arent worth putting it on the dyno :D

I have 4 in stock. I just got authorized to do super low price. PM me if interested. :tup:

If it's free I'll take one! :happydance:

PM price if you would please.

Woah if that is the deal, count me in.
I think I sent you a PM yesterday, but just in case include me in the PM for the price.

ill take a pm :hello:

All Price request PM'D

thank you for the order. 3 left

for the price, these should go quick

Another one gone, thanks for the deal. :)

I would like to know what this system does to our a/f ratio?

There is a sensor plug on the intake, and basically the ECU will automatically compensate for the change in the air fuel ratio by adding more fuel for the increase in air. Thanks for the PM's guys keep them coming! All PM's replied.

Install:
Cons:
Stickers on Intakes: The stickers on the intake did not want to stay on when heated up, so I took them off with a little goo gone. (Not a real issue for me because I’m not much a of badge guy, I like the stealth look).
Also the sticker that goes on the heat shield did not stick either, again not a big deal for me.
Pros:
Sound: The sound coming out of the engine now is just intoxicating, can't keep my foot out of the gas now. At WOT the engine has a very nice throaty growl.
Performance: I have had them on for 5 days now and I drive my car daily so the power has definitely gotten better. I have not dyno tested the intake but the car is more responsive and seems to pull harder.
Looks: The chrome piping is very nice, quality is great and I love the AFE pro dry filters. No oil no mess and they flow just as good as the oil style filters.

Here are some pics of the Takeda Intake Installed:

thank you for the pictures ^^^. I really like mine on my G37.

TAKEDA explained as to why they decided to make a small sheild instead of the full heat shield.

The heat generated by the radiator hose next to the intake on the passenger side was where the heat soak was coming from when they were testing and doing dyno runs. Only the passenger side was getting heat soak so they decided to make a small shield to minimize the heat and sure enough, after that cover they saw better gains while doing the dyno

I also did some of my own testing. I have the magden computer on my car and i was testing the AIR INTAKE TEMPS while driving to san diego. The air intake was typically 20 deg hotter than outside temp just like the stock air box on cruising speed. Once i stepped on the throttle, the air intake dropped 10 deg within seconds.

Here's some pictures of the TAKEDA installed on my G:tup:
