it's super easy to do, shouldn't take you more then 10mins. here's a link that have the instruction to change the f-sport intake(2nd post), pretty similar to any other intake.

also you dont have to dont have to reset anything or unplug the battery if you dont want too, but its a good idea to reset the ecu(by unpluging the negative for bout a min) you may get a warning light after you install it but i should go away in a day or two. hope it help.

If you want to install the Takeda, make sure you bring your thinking cap. Takes a lot of finagling. I love the sound, but hated having to install it. I have owned 5 cars this last year alone and that was by far the hardest intake i have ever touched. AFE make Takeda just FYI. I think L-S-D said he loves his Fujita and had easy installation with it. Might wanna take a look at it.


Hope i Could help you,

Get the Joe Z.

Lowest cost, best performance, and by far easiest install. No need to reset or disconnect anything, the ECU is always learning on its own.

thank you for all of your answers! Now, all i need to know is:
will this benefit my performance (+hp)?
are there any negatives to an intake?
oh and i plan to buy the Fujita intake.

I have the F-sport from my local dealer and LOVE IT! I am sure there are even better ones out there...DO IT!

Gains for a Joe Z or F-sport will be about 5 hp... everything else is likely that or less since it'll be pulling hotter air than those

No real negatives besides they're louder if you prefer a quiet car. (Joe Z being the least loud, then F-sport, then the open-element intakes)
