Which Intake are you getting?!

[denverizzles]

So far I have only seen 3 intakes being offered on the market for the FR-S. Obviously, there is probably more, but from what i've read on the boards the main ones are:

1) Injen
2) Takeda
3) Airaid

Which intake are you getting for your car and why? If it's not on the list, please let me know which one.

Im really partial to injen, but from what i've read the SRIs are losing a little torque, which is what this card needs May hold off to see the development.

I'm gonna wait as well. See what AEM and K&N come out with.

Also, I usually wait for the second version for them to work out the bugs. Also, I want to see a CAI, with a good tune.

May want to add a poll, but definitely Injen for me. The fact that they used my car for development aside (full disclosure), I like the look the best and the all the R&D and production is done local to me. The performance is definitely where I had hoped it would be at, and I've been driving on the prototype for 1500 miles, already.

The sound is amazing, too, but I'm sure they all sound better than the stock intake.

AIRAID is a close second, but the Takeda offering looks highly shady to me, especially since they don't post dynos or proof.

Besides, I know someone who used to work there, and I'm not impressed at all.

How about none.. I'm not yet convinced that intakes make any power. I'm thinking the stock intake without the noise pipe and resonator is just fine.

dyno graphs aren't proof or you don't believe the numbers?

I have serious doubts about the veracity of their claims.

One of my main concerns is that this is a 3rd gear pull, and the baseline numbers are pulled 3 weeks before the newer intake is installed. All baseline dynos have shown an increase in power just after the standard break-in.

By comparison, the Injen intake pulls are done back to back and 3rd gear shows 12hp at peak.

I ordered the Injen intake today. I hope have it sometime next week.

[kidgogeta]

How do you guys think the injen would compare to the Airaid,

does anybody know if SRT if making an intake

I agree with your assessments and you make valid points. You may even be 100% right.

But don't say they are not providing dynos because they exist.

Can you comment on how Injen's intake feel? (Try to be unbiased). I know most probably close to redline it must pull GOOD. But what about the rest of the revline?

[Pscylo]

Haven't seen Injens final product yet, but....I need a closer look at the inside of that Takeda box. The AirRaid box is a good design but isn't absolutely optimal for minimalizing turbulence on the way in. While the difference is minor, its still a difference.

I'm waiting for Perrin. I like how it goes up under the bumper instead of in the engine bay like the rest. Also after reading their posts on here and seeing how much they are dedicated to this platform, if anybody is getting my money they will be one of the first.
