Performance & Design
Takeda Momentum intake systems are designed to enhance throttle response, increase airflow efficiency, and deliver consistent power gains throughout the RPM range. The sealed housing design helps isolate the intake from engine bay heat, while the dyno-tuned intake tube ensures smooth airflow for optimal performance.
Unique One-Piece Housing w/ Sight Window
This system features a custom CAD-designed roto-molded housing constructed from durable black cross-linked polyethylene. The one-piece design minimizes components and ensures a tight seal for cooler intake air temperatures. A large clear sight window allows for quick filter inspection without removing the airbox.
US Patent 9,440,175 – Filter-to-Housing Interface
Dyno-Tuned Roto-Molded Intake Tube
The CAD-designed, dyno-tuned roto-molded intake tube is engineered to maximize airflow while maintaining a precise vehicle-specific fit. A billet aluminum fitting is integrated into the tube to provide a secure and accurate connection for the factory intake air temperature sensor.
Large 5-Layer Performance Air Filter
This intake system includes a 7.5-inch tall, inverted-top, 360-degree radial flow air filter featuring pre-oiled Pro 5R cotton gauze media. The five layers of progressively finer mesh provide maximum airflow and power potential, making it ideal for high-performance street and spirited driving applications.
Premium Hardware
- Stainless Steel Clamps – Strength and corrosion resistance
- Premium Silicone Coupling – Ensures a secure, leak-free seal
- Minimal Hardware Design – Fast and simple installation
Takeda Momentum intakes are designed with fewer parts to deliver an efficient installation and OEM-quality fit.
