Is this the car sensors having something to do with this or simply that you are used to the sound now and it has lost its initial 'shock' factor?

To be honest im not sure I heard it's something with a sensor but I think the "Wow that's loud" effect wore off

Takeda is great...only other intake that I wanted...but got K&N instead because found used for cheap

But the Takeda has an advantage in the sense that you won't need to remove the whole intake to replace bulbs...My K&N sticks right up to the headlight housing covers almost touching...and I need the filter removed to access the bulbs......and in order to remove filter I need to remove the whole intake -_-

Oo dang, that strange that they would even make it like that....K&N want to make sure you notice it anytime you are doing anything...

I have the K&N intake and I don't have to remove the entire intake just to access the bulbs. Just the filter, which is super easy. Either you have created more work for yourself or you have really, really big hands.

I have a K&N too and I don't have to remove the entire intake to wash the filter. Just unscrew the clamp and there's enough clearance to pull it forward and off.

reyoasian, maybe you need to stick the intake tube further into the silicone coupling at the throttle body? This would give you enough clearance at the front to change the filter without removing the entire intake. Just a thought.

DID MY DYNO RUN yesterday, If anything all the intake did was gave a +10 ft lb torque.
I came out with 174hp and 185ft lb tq consistent on 2 pulls...I feel like i could have made a little more but the tuner didn't want to push it.

I'm running the Takeda with just a Greddy Elite exhaust
