Default Full CAI intake vs intake tube only?

Hey guys,

I'm in the market for an intake for my RC350. I was wondering what the differences are, if any, between a full intake like the Takeda and those that only have the tube and use the stock airbox like K&N/HPS/RR. Is the full CAI louder, and does it have any real advantages over the significantly cheaper tube-only intakes?

Full CAI is louder and claims to make more power.

Tube does improve sound as well.

Pick your poison.

Contact us for pricing on either product.

I texted you guys about the intake yesterday, and was promptly told that you guys had moved from LA to OC and was ignored. Even though your sig, website, social media and everything still say you are in LA.

The last text I have from our conversation is about us moving to OC. We didn't get a response after that. You can email/PM us instead, or try texting again.
