Finally got my afe takeda intake!
 

Well after months of waiting...it finally showed up! :D

Looks freaking clean! Will be installing/reviewing this weekend.

Waiting for mine as well, scheduled for delivery today. Got the car all torn down ready for install. the wait is killing me!!!!

Sweet!! I'm suppose to be getting my afe catback next week (hopefully) and the intake will be the next mod. Looking forward to your review! :)

where did you order? direct or through a vendor?

Got it installed, just love the finish/quality of it. Seems like i lost some low end torque , but screams above 4k. Sounds mean as hell. :burnrubber:No bogging issues, but need to log some miles to be sure. Ordered mines direct from AFE months ago. :thumbup:

Is the sound generator tube open or needing to be drilled?

Needs to be drilled if you want to keep the sound generator.

lost some low end power? thats a bit disappointing. the dynos in another thread it showed gains across the entire rpm range!

Agreed, this could be disappointing if true. Are you completely stock besides the intake? Mine should be here shortly, and I have the EcuTek stage1 tune, not sure if there will be a difference in the low end or not. But you could tell a big difference in the top end vs stock?

This could indicate potential bogging for me. Other people lost low end on the AIRAID unit while my car cut power and jerked.

I wonder how an AVO inlet kit with high flow filter + modified snorkel would do....

I wish someone will Dyno it now. Two original Dyno sheets provided by AFE showed the intake making power across the rev band or at least staying atop the Stock Dyno.

Oh I plan to dyno it. I'm even going to do a dyno comparison against AIRAID's intake (I'm going to borrow my friend's for the dyno, since I am returning mine). Still waiting for a tracking number, though.

It's a nice unit. :)

Love the design and built quality !
