Can any of the owners of the 2015 RC 350's help me out with the question below? Thanks.

I am considering a Takeda CAI as I stated in my op, however I don't see where the Takeda could offer better benefits (mainly better mpg and a little more power) than the stock set up. My original reason for looking into the Takeda was Gear Head Peter's +3 mpg.
Could members with 2015 RC's tell me if their intake looks like mine? If not, maybe that's where the mpg/performance gains were had from GHP's install.

ALE81,

My 2015 RC350 RWD looks the same....Other than being a bit more dirty.
