rofl, Takeda was one of the intakes I was waiting to see dyno gains on. Must have missed that/those threads.

Just found it. Thanks mate. Glad I didn't jump on the bandwagon, because those things were beautiful and in the top running

They look great, and add a very nice sound note above 4k, but are worthless for gains and hurt the AF mix. Now my only question is, could the Texas heat plus the heat from the engine kill these? So my thought would be, maybe after the exhaust is on and a tune I might see some good gains from them, plus not being in 100+ weather.

No updates. I never got an email back after my last one threatening litigation. Filed the IC3 dispute & am waiting to hear back regarding that.
