My afe intake instructions had me remove the intake snorkel. Did yours not? Removing the ducting was a bit of a pain in the ass. and it looks like you used the rubber mounts for the bolts, the instructions said notin about it for me.

Removing the snorkel is a must for any aftermarket system. I thought it was understood so I didn't include it in the instructions. It's much easier with two people.

oh sorry, I know I read it before. I was thinking some intakes just utilized it still.

So, apparently I CAN hear the intake if I don't have my music on. Who would have thought? I'm going to do some GOPRO videos with the camera on the hood to see if I can get some good sound clips. I'll do one of the AIRAID system on my buddies car too.

fantastic write up and very thorough review based on fact rather than fiction.... I was just looking on the aFE Takeda website to order one and I noted that there is a dry system and an oiled system does this make a difference and in what conditions would you alter your decisions to get either system

Power/Drivability - Takeda Appearance - Takeda Installation Ease - Takeda Sound - Right now AIRAID, but I'm doing a couple of videos comparing the two in the next few days, so this might change. |

I recently installed the SRT header-back exhaust as well. Is there much of a difference in in-cabin sound of SRT+AFE vs SRT+stock intake? That puppy at the rear is pretty loud, and I'm wondering if you can even hear the difference (or if the difference is a negative experience)..

Dry also helps prevent oil from getting on your MAF. So no risk of over oiling, and getting it dirty

I think they sent me a dry filter with an oil kit LOL. If I can confirm this, I'll just give the kit to someone local with an oiled filter version.
