I didn't notice any extra HP. The K&N uses the factory air box, so it's not really getting "cold" air. It was essentially $300 for a shiny tube and drop in filter.
I was looking at the HPS, however apparently it doesn't add any additional noise and doubt it actually adds much HP. Some people have indiciated it makes it more responsive, but I already have a Apexi Accell, if its a minimal impact I don't really want to spend the $. It does keep stock sound generator though.
Wonder if you could just mod one of the takeda's to add the sound generator on. Drill a hole in it and put a similiar size pipe to plug the generator into. You could even cut the pipe off the stock one and jbweld it to the upgraded one.
I was leaning towards the takeda but then my boy told me about AEM. Apparently they are the God Fathers of Intakes. But I was def thinking about the Takeda. I want to make sure its worth it and granted a little horsepower increase but I know it would not make a huge difference. how do you feel about it and did you feel a difference at all?
how does the Apexi Accell work out for you? is it worth it? what kind of feedback did you get out of it?
Its a must buy IMO. Doesn't really give you increased power, but the feel is dramatically different from stock. Gives me instant response when I'm on the most aggressive mode + sport mode, which is how I drive 95% of the time. I ordered it before I even received my car, because I had past experience with similar devices. Others can probably chime in on it. I ordered mine off amazon, it came from Japan I think, I paid around $180.
2 parts needed for it are:
Apexi Controller 410-A0001 and Apexi Controller harness 417-A021.
