Hey guys, im thinking of installing the takeda intake, but i feel like my stock sound is loud enough (i know that it has a sound generator) but since i have to remove the sound generator when installing the takeda intake does it make a difference? does it sound more quiet with the takeda intake?

It's a different sound, check YouTube

It sounds better is real intake sound and does provide increased air flow! Check out my previous posts with a link to my YouTube video sample. It does however sound better in real life.

Here's your link below for the video I saw. Do you lose any low end torque and power? I had one before on another vehicle and noticed more power gains at higher RPMs. Also with the intake, air is now coming in warmer from the engine bay instead of using the stock airbox where cooler air comes from the ducting in the front.

No do not, its actually more responsive even at low end .the kit still uses the stock air inlet( duct in front as you mentioned ) directly to where the filter is.

Sorry not to hijack but,
Do You actually remove the sound generator or is it just hanging around in he engine bay still?

No problem - The sound generator is completely removed as there's a different intake tube all together as shown in pics on my original video post. I personally hated having fake intake noise so it was a must do modification.
