Default Update - Exhaust and Intake installed

Very happy with the turnout. Wanted something simple and this custom axle back setup produces a nice deep growl which is what I was looking for compared to the quite stock sound..what a difference! Will post a video soon

Very nice RC. Can't wait for the sound clips of the exhaust. Details on exhaust the setup?

Howd the intake work out for you? I feel a little bit of difference out of mine. Im curious to see what someone else thinks or if its all placebo..

It noticeably gives me alittle more "umph", and it sounds amazing...definitely worth it thanks for the vouch man.

I have the Takeda intake as well with a custom Magnaflow axle back on my IS and sounds very similar. Deep and burly but not over the top.

Nice sound. I'll be getting a Takeda intake for mine next week.

Next week is here and I just ordered one. There is a new part number, TR-2015B-1R (Black tube), available as our 2015 RC 350 now shows up on the Afe Power website.

Default Takeda TR-2015B-1R (Black tube) Installed - Video coming soon

Here is a picture of my Takeda TR-2015B-1R (Black tube) installed. It sounds much more aggressive over stock when you put your foot to the metal, and I like it.
