Exclamation Deciding on either LEMS or Takeda stage 2 intake?

Hi Guys,

I'm having trouble deciding on either getting LEMS or Takeda Intake for my RcF. Any thoughts on these products? Currently just order my GTHAUS TI GTC Round Tip Exhaust, with the TI Cat-Back. So the LEMS intake would match my exhaust.

Thank you

I think the consensus is there is no difference in performance gain. It's mainly aesthetics. Not sure if the takeda will match the blue manifold.... But the LEMS ti gets my vote.

Well, if you can afford the $7500 exhaust you might as well get the $500 intake tube so your air will be filtered through titanium piping all the way around....

Also, with the LEMS there is usually a huge wait time. As for the Takeda, we have that in stock, ready to ship to you..

Contact us for pricing!

I would go with the takeda it still uses the stock 2 stage air box and has a cone filter. All the other intakes are just pipes really and i bet the takeda sounds real nice.

I have the AFE intake on my on my single turbo RX7 for a few years and I love it. The Takeda/AFE filter is extremely great quality and I plan on getting the filter also for my RCF.

^^^^ Seven years ago, I was the first member on this forum to put the Takeda on my ISF. It's still there and I still luv it. In the interim they improved the filter, and I upgraded that Nine months ago. Good Choice.

There's no gains. It's cosmetic. But looks cool.
