What did you time with? If you got rid of the Takeda, used the RR or K&N Tube and Filter with the stock air Box you would notice some improvement. You are losing hp with the Takeda. It documented everywhere with the 2GR. Don't understand why spend $350 for noise that def loses some hp.
If anyone just wants the noise (I don't know why), when you already have a Factory noise Generator. You can do the Lexus F Sport lower Air Box Mod for Free and gain a little if you have exhaust. All you have to do is cut. Its been well documented timed and Dyno'd many years and times with the IS350 crowd. I personally did not do this because I hate the whaaaaaaa Intake sound. I did something else with ECU Tuning included.
I used the normal iPhone photo app, when you go to edit on a video it shows the exact time you’re at when you scrub. If I’m actually losing power, I sure can’t tell. maybe because of the Borla axleback. But it still does 0-60 under 6 consistently and car still pulls hard up top with no issues. I still remember how boring it was to drive “aggressive” when stock. Now it handles way better, less body roll, sounds amazing and still very comfortable for normal driving
