Takeda Intake

[Mr Dunkie]

Hi,

New to the site, but had my ISF 2 years. Having read the thread elsewhere on here I am trying to purchase a Takeda intake, however there are two issues. First there seem to be 3 types (whcih to choose?) and second all the sellers seem to be US based and charge fortunes in shipping. Does anywhere in the UK sell them?

Next planned mod is the H&S exhaust after hearing the lovely sound the ISF in the other thread makes

Thanks for any help

They are only sold in the US, choice is mainly chrome or black. The sound is awesome, you probably wont go for the exhaust after hearing it.

Hey chap. Takeda is only available in the USA and import is not too bad at just over £30.

There is only one available for the isf as per link below.

Be aware it does sap approx 3-4 mpg. Bhp will be the roughly the same.

H&s are fantastic and easily the best mod for the car IMO. The sound is amazing!!!

I am organising a rolling road day in Thurrock in August and will see what my car does with h&s car back system and takeda. Pete has takeda so will be interesting to see the results.

No idea. My wife isn't so bad now. She actually recognises a lot of performance cars. Also she just lets me get on with it!

Yeh mine has nothing to do with my car .

[Mr Dunkie]

Thanks all for thoughts. Stu i have followed the link and once carriage is added the total is $500+! Am I missing something? In fairness they did say they would look at the part price to see if there was anything they could do given the shipping is the same as the part! I'll wait to see.

Also spoken to H&S and hopefully in early May i will have a new exhaust. Decision made on two basis, first the clip on PH i think of Stu's car (apologies if wrong on this) and second due to a minor issue with a grass bank sometime ago i only have 3 of the 4 fake exhaust trims. Lexus wanted over £400 for this alone, bit of a no brainer to get rear system in stainless for about £800.

It is mine on pistonheads :)

I bought my intake off eBay. There is a link on here somewhere to the seller.

The price of the tips is silly money but when you see them they are quite substantial units.

I'll have a look for it later.
