K&N vs Takeda?

K&N vs Takeda?
Takeda Cold Air Intake: Scion tC 2011 - 2015 (tC2)
gains of 11 HP & 11 torque.
Takeda CAI...or
69-8616TS - K&N Intake Kits, Performance Intake Kit
Gains: 6 HP & 6 Torque
I've yet to do anything to my car and I was curious which you guys think is best for the tC? I think I've seen a few posts about the Takeda.
I'm entirely new to upgrading cars and what not so feel free to throw in your advice.
I'm all ears

In reality you will see a gain of 0 HP for both. Go for which one meets your budget and makes the sounds you want. Me personally after blowing an engine in another car I would go with a short ram intake. Merely my opinion on the matter.

I had an Injen short ram and it caused severe bogging in hot weather. I'd get a CAI and stay away from short rams. They are just noise. Especially since the tC cannot be tuned.

CAI Filters are a bit more work to clean because they are harder to get to. But their is more than one way to access the compartment.
I am glad to see a new modder here. I don't see alot of members that I used to see online all the time; seems like others are going to stock. I love my car.
Welcome.

Only thing about CAI is don't go through puddles other than that you should be fine the suction from the CAI is press out through the whole filter doesn't necessarily mean it is close enough to the floor to suck up any water in it you should be fine just like I said try to avoid puddles
#17
Don't worry about avoiding puddles. As long as you don't remove the fender liner inside the wheel well, you're perfectly safe. Back when I had my Takeda, I drove through whatever water I wanted (including Hurricane Sandy a few years back) and had zero issues.
I've since sold the Takeda and went back to stock because, like a few others have said, there is VERY little performance benefit.
