How would this compete with the injen Cai.

 

I've only seen a couple reviews and comments about the Injen intake. Most people who have it, like it. One company said that it gained up to 7.64 hp and 6.84 ft/lbs. of torque. There wasn't a dyno graph or any actual support for the claim, it was just part of their part description. Looks like it fits pretty well, and it does have their patented MR technology so it will keep your A/F ratios stable while maximizing horsepower and torque.

Until someone can compare them, there's not much more I can comment on.

 

I'd sure be interested to see a dyno run from a customer to see what this thing really does. 17 HP?? I don't know about that

 

I'd be interested in the same thing. 17 HP seems like a lot to me as well. It's still a quality piece but a dyno run from a customer would be nice.

 

Send me one and I'll have it tested. If as advertised I'll buy it or send it back.

 

We aren't going to be able to do that. AFE already provided their own dyno numbers. If you guys would like to verify those numbers, that would be something to do on your own after purchasing the product.

Are these returnable if they don't reach expectations?

 

Installed parts are not returnable.

 

^^lol. Of course I can understand this, as a vendor you can't accept already used products back... But it would be nice to see if those numbers are even slightly validated by an independent test. Regardless once my 14 arrives at the dealership, I'll be picking one of these up. I'm doing it for the noise, not the "claimed" HP/torque

 

I absolutely agree with you, but it's just not something we would fund as it's not our product. Well let us know when you'd like to pick up the part.

 

How does that little heat shield "protect the filter from unwanted hot engine air." Once the hood is closed, where else is it going to be drawing the air from but inside the engine bay?

 

There's going to be heat in the engine bay regardless of the heatshield. But this is just blocking direct heat at the filter.

 

I think my concern is what this produces in real world application vs. CAI.

 

I pulled out the air cleaner resonator in the fender well. Now I have "stock" CAI.

 

For what ever it matters..

With very little custom bending to the heat shield I was able to get an 8th gen Takeda ram air intake to fit the 9th gens with no error codes or issues. For those of you searching for a larger pool of products to get a good deal on.

 

Obviously this has no reflection on Excelerate, but that dyno is fishy. The dips are in completely differen spots before/after, and the AFR is near 15:1 for most of the powerband after the intake install. Wtf? That's ridiculously lean.

 

We were just simply trying to inform you guys about a new intake that is available. I can't personally vouch for the legitimacy of the dyno. Takeda is a reputable company and I don't think they would post false information. Each dyno is different than the next so numbers can be higher on one dyno or lower on another.

 

We appreciate it. I didn't mean to come off as "shunning" this thread, I apologize if I did. I just wanted to point out that while they are a reputable company, the dyno does seem a bit odd. Nothing taking away from you guys.

 

You didn't come off like that. Thank you though.

 

So, any plans for a j-pipe for the 9th gen cars?

 

Hi everyone I'm new to this so bare with me but I bought a 2013 accord HFP last summer and I absolutely love it! Now I noticed there isn't much yet on the subject but I was hoping to add a little more performance to my car but I noticed an intake is all there really is so far. I don't suppose anyone knows if there is anything else I could do that maybe I missed?

 

The dyno is real, they used my car for R&D. All legit testing and development there. Feel free to contact them.

V6 Coupe Cat-Back exhaust is coming out soon guys, Be on the look out!

 

I just installed the Takeda Retain on my 2014 v6. Pretty nice product. No idea about HP gains, but intake sound is nice. Any thoughts on this:
Takeda - Cat-Back Exhaust 13-14 Honda Accord Coupe EX-L V6 3.5L

 

The Takeda is a very good choice. I have one on my 2013 Honda Accord touring. one thing you may want to try is a Volant power core filter on it. I tried one on my Takeda intake and the gas mileage when up by 2 miles per gallon. This is actual no kidding. These are the product dimensions I got to work with my Takeda intake.(along with a little more information)

PowerCore® Filtration Technology Product #:**61509
Style**Dry
Flange**Straight 4.00
Base**6.00
Top**6.00
Height**7.00

By using Donaldson's® PowerCore® Filtration Technology submicron contaminants load on the surface rather than collecting in the depth of the filter. This boosts efficiency and increases performance on your aftermarket air intake system. The filter media won't deteriorate as easily as traditional cotton/gauze filters. Plus, it's water resistant, so getting wet won't ruin your air flow or cause a decrease in performance. This is why we warranty our replacement air-filters for 4 years or 100,000 miles in urban conditions, whichever comes first.

 

Hey folks. Just thought I would give a little info since I just installed the Takeda Retain on my 2014 Accord EX-L V6 manual. I have the black wrinkle finish, (just for aesthetics) and it really is natural looking in the engine bay. Performance is noticeable but what really causes the "love" is VTEC (V-crack) kicking in. Lawd, lawd, just help me keep my foot out of it. But I can't, I'm addicted. The only thing I can do is install the Takeda catback exhaust system. I'll give an update when that happens. (If I have any gas left in the tank)

Update: Just bought the Takeda Catback. Waiting for delivery and install. Will update w/ pics.

Update: View my gallery for photos.

 

Is this a straight 'bolt-on'? No air/fuel adjustments needed? Thanks,HB

 

Please post the results of the Takeda intake and exhaust ASAP. Would love to upgrade my V6 (th gen.

 

Those seem unrealistic performance gains.
