which intakes do you guys prefer? HPS, TAKEDA, JOEZ.... ive been reading a lot about it, people been saying theres an hp loss on the takeda, i was leaning on that at first. joez is cool too, hard to order. so what about HPS?

 

I bought a Joe Z to eliminate the stock accordian hose, but if I were to do it again, I'd go HPS for 2 reasons:

1) 2 less hose clamps.

2) Least chance of heat soak.

 

Went with RR - either with intake or without - eliminates the breather system into the intake.

 

I was the first person on this forum with a Takeda and I still luv it:

My Joe-z got smoking hot, couldn't even touch it, and the nipples didn't have any flares on them to prevent the hose from being pulled off easily. Perhaps I'm being picky but HPS has always seemed like a great choice.

 

I wrapped my Joe Z in heat tape to eliminate this. NEVER had an issue with the nipple slipping off, but I had the same thought. I just upgraded to the RR-Racing tuned intake / elbow / aos, I'll have to drive it some to give an impression.

DON'T get the Takeda, it ends up losing power. I made more on the stock box with Joe Z.

 

^^^^I don't believe I lost power with it. But, I never dynode pre Takeda. Post Takeda with all bolt-ons (and hi flow cats) I got 393 RWHP. Also, the filter has been improved. It's now an AFE wet filter and the top portion is no longer flat, but includes an inverted cone with filter media. I replaced my filter a couple of weeks ago.

I have the HPS and have no complaints about it. The RR-Racing intakes are great intakes also.

Let me know if you want a quote on an intake since you're local to me !

i have TAKEDA and blitz drop in with JOE Z...im currently using JOE Z with RR-tune,the tune seems to accelerate smoother with drop in intake.
ill reset my ecu and try the TAKEDA as soon as i get use to the tune+joeZ+blitz drop in,this was i can tell the difference

 

I had joe z and hps. I went with hps to prevent it from heat soaking and also have a toms drop in filter. i would stick with stock unless you have headers and exhaust coming.

 

My exact same setup.. Until I go full RR-Racing intake box and intake tube.

I had joez , takeda
Now i got the hps .. Less heat soak.. I guess its the best specially in our weather

 

thanks guys, i was actually leaning on to HPS.... but i need to hear it first

 

I just did my RR tuned intake / tune

RR > all

 

HPS or Afe are amazing intakes and we have some pretty great pricing on both right now
