Takeda cold air intake
Has anybody had any experience with this product?

Any issues with it? Do you get the claimed increase in torque/HP?

Mr.Heel Toe should be jumping on this soon with availability since he said, IIRC, that it would be available through him.
So I guess I need to add this to my swaybar shopping cart....

In the video, they state the 12.5hp gain comes from CAI converts to short ram. Short ram will be breathing in hotter air hence lower power gain??

one or the other ehh.. I'm feeling the CAI cause it looks cooler.. haha.. I'm going to do a little more research and see what it does and what not.. thanks for the response.. is it out yet? I think it would go great with the Rear Sway Bar.. or maybe even an exhaust would be nice right now... I hate the stock sound.. =/

The intake should be the same result as the 1G TSX. With a CAI, you will notice more gain in the higher revs while with a SRI, you will notice a gain in the lower end of the rpm and of course it will be louder since its "closer" to where you drive.

dont forget that with a short ram, you will LOSE power in anything above 80 degree weather. this is a fact. cold air is the only way to go if you actually want year round gains but stay away from those deep puddles.

This fits the 1st gen tsx's too!?!? does that mean the 1st gen tsx intakes fit the 2nd gen too? that cannot be right in a million years 100%

It's just a typo. Calm down. The only reason it is up there is because it is pretty much the same intake as the accord coupe 08-09. Also, that video was not posted on their site yet. Someone just stumbled across it.

AustinJay, I know you posted a video of your car accelerating quickly, but could you also post a sound test of just normal driving? Just wondering how loud it gets in a cabin under normal load.

I honestly sounds stock. The good thing about an intake is that there is no drone. You only get the noise at WOT really.

As far as performance, I really don't know yet. I used to have a 350AWHP Evo IX, so the power isn't as noticeable. I did notice a better throttle response. I think the ECU needs to get used to the extra airflow first.
The more I drive it, the more I feel. 16HP is a lot, but not a lot in a 3415 lb car. Like I said before, it just feels like it has a better throttle response. Sorry for your disbelief.
