I'm subscribed to this thread. Loss of low end is NOT what I want from an intake so I've put my order on hold.

If you start a new thread for whenever you dyno, please post a link to it in this thread so we know!

Exactly the same minus the sound tube hole

Greddy did not put much R&D to it so they can lower their prices

If I go with this intake, I plan to utilize its sound generator duct with the TRD sound changer. Then the GReddy version will never be able to match the sound. :p Takeda is the ONLY aftermarket intake I've seen in America that preserves that duct. Conversely, I haven't seen ANY Japanese aftermarket intake omit that duct.

I've put close to 100 miles now on the intake and you guys were right. Its prob the ecu getting used to the new intake. i've lost nothing, acutally feels like i've gain torque. So i'm really happy with the intake.

Nice to know. Do you know if it shipped to you via FedEx? Because I missed a FedEx package on Friday and I'm dying to know if it was probably this intake.
