aFe Power Takeda Rapid Induction Cold Air Intake System w/ Pro DRY S Filter 13-14 Outback 2.5L

I've had my Takeda intake for two months now in my 2014 Outback, and have been thoroughly pleased with the improved throttle response and increased intake noise it provides. Drifting in the mud at my job's parking lot is a lot more fun because of it. I've even gotten an extra 1 mpg of economy out of normal highway driving with it. The power/torque gains it promises (11hp, 13ft/lbs) aren't easily noticeable by any means, but it does make the engine feel more lively and eager. A tune from someone experienced like Xtreme Racing Tuning would be able to take better advantage of the additional airflow provided by the large conical air filter. I have put a pre-filter (Filterwears F102R) over it to help protect it from larger debris and water, which fits very nicely. Installing the intake took only an hour, but I did have to modify the bracket at the bottom of the metal filter box in order to fit it onto the stock front half of the box, which was an unexpected hassle, and the Takeda badge on top of it ended up coming off multiple times from weak adhesive, and by the time I opened the hood again to take a video, it had disappeared completely. Hardly an issue for the sake of build quality, which was otherwise really nice. All the supplied hardware (besides the intake box) was precisely manufactured and went together without a hitch, and I only had to use a screwdriver, a few sockets, and some wrenches. The attached video shows cold starts, idling, and revs with the stock intake equipped with a K&N filter in early fall (65F) and the Takeda intake in the winter (45F), both with a Nameless Performance 5" muffler on the rear. (Revving timestamps are 0:39/0:56 and 1:51/2:08 respectively.)

such a nice intake for my 2014 legacy 2.5 na

It was great
