Also, don't get a takeda because their metal clamps will eat through the soft silicone couplers over time (those who doubt that, take yours off and check it out!).

It's smartly designed. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...ml#post8153924

I've removed twice and installed three times (for R&D purposes) and all parts are just as new as the first day. Nothing is ripping or breaking. AND...in the post above this one there's my DIY which shouldnt take you more than 20 minutes. you'll just need some basic tools and you'll save yourself some money on the labor. =)

Good luck!

A few years ago in a different car I owned we had this same cold air intake conversation. I had a digital thermometer that read and recorded with two sensors. I put one sensor in the factory cold air intake, the other under the hood where an aftermarket intake would get air. At 30 mph the air temperatures were the same. Below thirty the factory intake was colder. In traffic the factory set up was best. Out of traffic it made no difference. Now remember, this is Hawaii so COLD air is 80'.

Aloha,
Larry
