Performance & Design
Takeda Momentum intake systems are engineered to optimize airflow, improve throttle response, and increase overall engine efficiency. The sealed housing design helps maintain cooler intake air temperatures, while the dyno-tuned intake tube ensures smooth, unrestricted airflow for consistent power gains across the RPM range.
Unique One-Piece Housing w/ Sight Window
This intake features a custom CAD-designed, roto-molded housing constructed from durable cross-linked polyethylene. The one-piece design minimizes components for a secure seal and easy installation. A large clear sight window allows quick inspection of the air filter without removing the housing.

Dyno-Tuned Roto-Molded Intake Tube
The CAD-designed, dyno-tuned roto-molded intake tube is engineered for maximum airflow and perfect vehicle-specific fitment. A billet aluminum fitting is integrated into the tube to provide a precise connection for the factory intake air temperature sensor.
Large 3-Layer Performance Air Filter
This system includes a 7.5-inch tall, inverted-top, 360-degree radial flow air filter featuring oil-free Pro DRY S synthetic media with three progressive layers. The design delivers excellent filtration efficiency, high dust-holding capacity, and extended service intervals without the need for oiling.
Premium Hardware
- Stainless Steel Clamps – Strength and corrosion resistance
- Premium Silicone Coupling – Secure and durable seal
- Minimal Hardware Design – Quick and straightforward installation
Takeda Momentum intakes are designed with fewer parts to ensure an efficient install and OEM-quality fit.
