My only thing is I can't decide if I want to bother with bumper removal everytime I want to check/clean the air filter. Now that there is a long tube intake option that doesn't require me to cut up my car, that is my only thing left.

Anyone with a Takeda/Akuma/Greddy intake that had to wrap their A/C lines?

Takeda here, no wrapping A/C lines for there was no metal to metal contact here.

Did you feel a power boost after the intakes? If so, was it in addition to your HFCs power boost?

(Im starting to plot my mods out)

Absolutely A. I felt gains all across the power ranges plus fifth pulls even harder. I've had the HFC for a while so the gains were on top of them. At this point, the final performance mod for me will be the tune.

I just installed the K&N Typhoon as well. Definitely a more aggressive sound than stock and I see a performance improvement as well. Price and level of effort to install is very good.
