aFe Power Takeda Intake System

RUFFSTUFF · 06-12-2012, 05:15 AM

I highly recommend the Takeda. The fact that it uses the same aFe filter material (Pro Dry S) as I have in my truck is a bonus. Every part is of nice quality, installation is easy (I'm a slow modder! I blame the rain...), and it looks Big Baller when its done.
Performance wise, it took a few miles to settle in, but the butt dyno is happy too.

Nice...... Sounds like a good win/win for you big guy. For me the LT CAI would be the Takeda. I would have to figure out how in the F to take off front bumper to install or clean filter. The hassel free idea would be the K&N Replacement Filters & the Post-MAF Intake Hose. Now is there a huge night & day difference b/w the two not to sure.

Once you've removed the bumper an realize how easy it is, it won't be a problem again.

Yes definitely.

I think mine was $398 shipped. I bought mine from Juan @ Import Dynamics. Fast shipping and everything was perfect when it arrived.

Thanx i just ordered mine!! Now i gotta wait 3 more days and its MINE! but one more question do i need a tune or just put it on and drive?

Gibby1113 · 06-29-2013, 06:06 PM

Just put it on and drive buddy. Nothing else needed

unless you want more power then you would have to get a tune.

Did you ever get yours yet? I'm currently trying to find the best price now myself and I'm buying immediately.

Gibby1113 · 07-07-2013, 11:29 PM

Check import dynamics contact Juan esteves. He gave me mine or $397 shipped

DarkJak · 06-30-2013, 08:18 AM

A tune would only be necessary for intakes that are wider at the MAF area, like Akuma and AAM (no adapter ring).

Verbal21 · 07-08-2013, 12:04 PM

Thanks for that. Juan just hooked me up too so I'd say he's the man to go to if you want one of these.

the A man · 07-09-2013, 02:10 AM

Yup, Juan hooked me up too. When you do the install make you take the plastic inlets that are attached (bolted by one bolt and one clip) to the radiator support. It doesnt say in the directions booklet so i was trying to jam the rubber tubes in through it. After i took it off the install went smooth.
