HPS vs JDM vs Takeda Intake

Next step for me is to upgrade my intake system- I’ve seen a few JDM options as well as the HPS short ram or Takeda cold air.. any suggestions on which is best for over performance/sound?

SYMS Racing Flow Suction Box (for FB25)

MSRP ￥79,500 (roughly ~$706 USD)

SYMS part # Y2000EG009

http://syms.jp/car_category/intake_legacy_bnbs/

 

 

This will fit all 6th gen Legacy/Outback 2.5i, and will fit 2013-2014 Legacy/Outback 2.5i as well. Check the SYMS website for other products as well.

Kakimoto Racing Air Intake Chamber

MSRP ¥ 75,000 (Roughly ~$666 USD)

Kakimoto part # BIC 350

http://www.kakimotoracing.co.jp/products/bic350.html

 

 

Same fitment as above, but Kakimoto also makes a similar intake chamber for just about every single NA Subaru model/engine. Full list here: http://www.kakimotoracing.co.jp/products/intake_list.html

Both of these serve the same function, and the Kakimoto is just about as expensive as the SYMS.

Thank you both for the input on the Takeda.. that is the direction I am leaning at this point. I am wondering if anyone else has tried or heard any feed back on the Kakimoto or SYMS compared to Takeda and if they're worth the hassle to procure haha. they look ******* sick.

Just go with takeda,it’s really not worth spending all that money on the other 2 unless you don’t care on how much you spend:)

thanks Patsfan69.. great feedback I'll try to update once I get her installed in the coming month or so for anyone else looking into this! Links to all four below for whoever is intersted

AFE Takeda Cold Air

HPS Short Ram

Kakimoto

SYMS

I have the hps short ram I like how it looks (went with blue) and the sound. Only issue is heat shield only mounts to 1 point so it can move a little I used a 4” angle bracket to a screw point on the chassis to fix. If u go with that check my car thread for pics.
