Default Takeda vs K&N

Conflicted between which intake I should get. I had the K&N Typhoon in my Challenger (V6) and loved it. Price difference is about $140 but what other differences are there? I had never heard of Takeda until I bought my 350 but I see more reviews and videos for it than K&N.
So help me out here. Why or why not did you go with either of the two?

K&N is just a filter and tube change while as the Takeda unit replaces the entire intake

The AEM intake 21-759C is more apples to apples versus the Takeda

Interesting. Now I gotta do more research. Also looking at the F Sport intake as well so I'm still undecided which one I want

I went with the Takeda because I could get in black and I felt like it looked more OEM. Also i got it at a really good price.

I like the k&n option with the f box. A lot of engineering has gone into these cars.


tbh most intakes disrupt the air flow signal either leaning out the car giving you more power. To see the real benefit of a pipe intake you would have to throw the car on a dunk with diff length pipes and see which yields more gains

Is there a difference between the Takeda Stage-2 cold air intake w/Pro 5R filter and the Pro Dry S filter?

I'm going with the Takeda. They're doing 21% off so it comes to $324.67.
I'm not a fan of the AEM one
