However, If you're looking for sound, and not just some cheap cold air civic crap, get a short ram like Greddy and you'll dig every second of it. I'm not 100% if Greddy does it, but my takeda got a bit rattly past 6k rpm, and i heard someone else saying the same. Also, don't get a takeda because their metal clamps will eat through the soft silicone couplers over time (those who doubt that, take yours off and check it out!).
Thing is, with the louder sound from the takeda the car "felt" faster even when it wasn't. The shifts had more lag, but were more pronounced and exciting, with more jerk to each shift (which I personally dig). But I'm keeping the intake for now because I'm still really liking the quicker shifts.
^^^^vbx, I added the Takeda intake as did Richie O and I immediately noticed the improved performance difference. And the sound is to drool over. The before/after video somewhat demonstrates this but it's much better sounding in person. Unlike some of the other aftermarket intakes, the Takeda comes with a bracket that creates almost a sealed system which helps cut the motion of hot engine air while sucking in cold air through the stock "ram air" tunnel. It's smartly designed. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...ml#post8153924
i have just installed takeda intake tonight on my 350f-sport. i was skeptical at first before installation coz i thot low end could be affected but i was wrong! surprisingly, i am happy to report that it does work and the improvement in terms of power started at around 2200rpm. the sound is just as good. the engine revs easier for sure with the intake, the stock air box was very restricted. the improvements are well worth the cost, highly recommended to anyone. the engine breaths much happier now.

Nice man! yea you won't regret it. I've also posted a comment somewhere on this forum that it might be a +/- 5hp difference. more air = better but hotter air = worse. I don't have any numbers to back that up though. you WILL be able to hear the growl which you'll love. i've had mine on now for about 7 months and just hit 10,000 miles. I've removed twice and installed three times (for R&D purposes) and all parts are just as new as the first day. Nothing is ripping or breaking. AND...in the post above this one there's my DIY which shouldnt take you more than 20 minutes. you'll just need some basic tools and you'll save yourself some money on the labor. =)
Good luck!
Good luck!
Aloha,
Larry
