You're blowing all of that out of proportion. The "cutting" is five minutes with a Dremel. Wrapping the AC lines is simple too. Don't let those be the reasons you don't buy the Stillen.

I bought the stillen gen3's and between cutting a little flange on both sides and wrapping the ac lines,it took about 5 mins. That being said,I could see some peeps being anal about the cutting. Some people don't want permanent pieces missing out of there car,and that's fair enough. Me,it didn't matter about a extra little slot. Now if the takedas are throwing down roughly the same horsepower and at a cheaper price,it does make sense to go with them. But it will take more than one post with just one person claiming the same horsepower without dyno sheets to convince me. No offense Anmvq

I have 0 shop experience and very little mechanical work. 5 doller dremel bit and it literally took me maybe 10 miuntes for both sides to dremel out. If you're using a drill bit dremel you probably don't even need to protect your ac lines during the job... (I was OCD) I used a piece of weather strip in between the ac lines and intakes. My install job left a small gap so there is a bit of pressure pressing it down but it was not resting on the intakes. I can't speak for Takeda's gains but in canadia I was checking prices... they were about the same price with Takeda's being a slight cheaper (like 50 bucks) but I chose the stillen as their is multiple non-stillen verifications of gains. Choice is yours at the end of the day. |

mishuko read about the a/c line clearance and just double check that yours is not rubbing the intake. intake tubes move around quite a bit so i'd give it a good 10mm of clearance or coil wrap it. my G runs stillens and it's about 5mm from the closest ac line. i wrapped the ac line. no issue.
also search elbow and get an extra before it cracks. |

The knock on the Takeda is that the silicon tube is restricted by the hole it's pushed through. Well, just like with the Stillen, you can dremel out the hole so that it's bigger, the hose still sits in there securely so there will be no rubbing. Basically, if you're buying the Stillen you're paying quite a bit more money for a few horsepower which just doesn't make sense to me. Comes down solely to personal preference, it's your car, it's your money, I'm not gonna PAY extra for a Stillen sticker under my hood.

Stillen $500
Takeda $360 ~5whp difference Do the math I don't jump on any bandwagon just because other people do it. I base my choices on research, cost and power gains. Takeda wins in my book
