The Takeda Retain Intake is a short ram air intake system that offers remarkable performance gains. Recent testing on a 2004 Coupe with an automatic transmission revealed a substantial increase of 13 horsepower and 15 lbs. x ft. of torque. This impressive intake design leverages the front portion of the stock airbox, ensuring a supply of colder air to the filter. Notably, Takeda conducted thorough testing on various cold air intake systems, both developed in-house and by competitors, and found that many cold air intakes led to significantly higher intake temperatures. This was primarily due to inadequate fresh-air circulation through the lower section of the bumper, resulting in the retention of unwanted heat from the engine.
Takeda intakes are meticulously crafted from lightweight tubing with a clear coat anodized finish, ensuring maximum airflow and an appealing aesthetic. Each intake incorporates a generously sized, 360-degree high-flow Pro DRY S air filter that maximizes both air flow and filtration while offering the convenience of easy maintenance. The Pro DRY S air filter eliminates the need for oiling and can be cleaned with simple soap and water. This comprehensive Takeda intake package includes all the necessary components, such as tubing, filters, couplings, a 3-angle adaptor, a wrinkle black airbox cover, and hardware, facilitating a straightforward installation process.
Please note that this intake is not compatible with a circular mass air flow sensor.
