DIY - 2IS Takeda intake on 3IS
ok so here goes. my first DIY. any constuctive criticism is welcome. And if anyone can shed some light on how to add this to the DIY sticky please PM me...thanks...
caveats - some clips had to be left unclipped which means some loose hoses. They don't THAT loose but it is not secure as it would be with the stock rubber pipe. and one of the hoses had to be bent in a different direction. It fits...not 100% as intended but maybe....94.83% of the way. I'd show you how i calculated that but....aint no one got time for that. good luck.

The panasonic sound generator wasn't connected to the original intake so I assume it just picked up engine noise. I can't figure out if the current noise is coming from the intake or the exhaust but it has a growl now where it didn't prior to the swap. And its a pretty throaty growl. So if anything, the noise has been amplified (didnt really here one with the stock intake) . The growl is an added bonus.

Richie, A+ on the DIY. Though you're off on the fit - I calculate 94.82%
For a relatively simple swap, you have lots of detail and (thank you) clear shots and indications.
In theory you should gain a handful of hp - any noticeable difference? Was the sound any different than the 2IS?

I never installed this into my 2IS so I have no reference either.

Where did you purchase the intake? Wondering if I can buy it online and have it shipped to Toronto hopefully in time for when I get my IS in a few weeks. I'll also have to check for any fitment issues with the 250, but I doubt it...
Thanks

I'll need about a 5 days travel time and 3000 miles later and I'll be there. haha.
