Default New intake + pics

I bought a Takeda intake from a local company here called Samho Motor and they took a couple shots of my car. I love this intake, it makes a really nice loud growl at 3k+ rpm. As for the power gain, I don't feel any difference at all but I am stepping on the gas a lot more than before and it's so much more fun to drive my car now.

Pictures and sound clip of the intake are on their website.

Thanks Kaydee for uploading it here.

I got a really good deal on the hood and I couldn't pass it up. It doesn't change colour now but it might in the future cuz I park under the sun everyday at work.
