Just installed my Takeda intake as well. Sounds great!! Thanks to OP for the recommendation of getting that better clamp at Home Depot.

There are so many clips attached to the factory intake...make sure you disconnect those first. Total time of install was 1 hour...and I knew what I was doing. I could see 2 hours if you've never installed one of these.

Thanks to Josh at Meraki for the great deal!

We need to get some video up of driving with it. I'm gonna try to shoot some video in the next week of how it sounds accelerating. The videos I've seen on youtube prior to getting it don't really relay just how loud it can be at WOT.

I agree. Looking forward to what you come up with!

This is the video that got me to purchase the intake:

It was on an RC350 but it's the same intake on the same engine, and the noise difference between stock and Takeda blew me away!

Installed mine couple days ago, sounds great and I recommend it just as much as everyone else!

Going to double check my vent tube hose now to make sure its still connected. It did seem a little easy to slide on during the install. A tighter butterfly clamp would add some piece of mind. Think I just found something to take up some time today

It's worth the $1 investment for the peace of mind!

Have any of you guys with the Takeda installed noticed a chirping sound from the engine bay when the car is in drive and stopped or while you're reversing and turning the steering wheel? I had this issue and thought it was related to the steering wheel or something so I brought it to the dealership. They told me the cause was the Takeda intake and suggested I return it back to stock. I love how the Takeda sounds and feels so I really don't want to, but the chirping is really annoying.
