R2C short ram VS Takeda CAI
I am looking for opinions from people who have had either one (or both) installed and have tested them. Which would you/would not recommend and why? Performance wise, feel of throttle, sound and such.
I am well informed of installation, pricing and the paper specs. But I am looking for personal experience on how it felt to drive with these installed. Which has higher HP gains is not my biggest concern because at the end of the day its all about which is more fun to drive with!![Driving](https://www.myg37.com/forums/images/smilies/driving.gif)
Thanks guys for any comments/opinions you may have

i did this change and i m happy about it i dont have anything to show for performance i did it strictly for a cleaner look in the engine bay. The install obviously was easier for the R2C but the takeda wasnt bad at all assuming you mean the long tubes sound wise they both get drowned out by the ARK catback
but i think the takeda looks better the R2C paint started flaking around where the MAF was

I've been mulling this decision for a while too! Are there any others who have ran both of these intakes? I don't know which would be the best to go with from a performance, sound, and ease of maintenance standpoint.
