People on here seem to prefer AFE with the plastic tube

Good luck and let us know what you buy

I''m looking at AFE Takeda Stage 2 Intake and AFE Power Magnum Force Stage 2 Intake. Seems like these 2 are different from each. I'm not really familiar with intakes but which one would you guys prefer? The Takeda has a silver tube and Magum Force has a blue one.

TAKEDA 13HP
AFE 14HP

The problem with the TAKEDA is the tube it's steel which AFE is fiber !!

So im looking at this and read that it is NOT legal in California or can be used on a vehicle registered with the California Department of Motor Vehicles. I really don't care about that part but would that somehow void my warranty with the dealership if i were to take it in for maintenance?

Save your old parts when u need to smog just put old stuff back on. When smog done have them reinstall it again. You have to pay to play

You'll be fine, everything on my car is illegal and my ISF was serviced without any issues. If you're in socal, I can refer you to a great dealership.

For smog, the intake is seriously nothing, but keep the OEM just in case.
