Performance & Design
Takeda Retain Stage-2 intake systems are designed to significantly improve airflow while preserving the factory intake location. By reducing restriction and optimizing air delivery to the throttle body, this intake enhances throttle response, horsepower, and torque while maintaining OEM-level fitment and drivability.
Large 3-Layer Performance Air Filter
This system includes a large 5-inch tall, 360-degree radial flow conical air filter constructed with oil-free Pro DRY S media. Featuring three layers of progressively finer synthetic filtration, it provides excellent airflow, dust-holding capacity, and maximum convenience with no oiling required.
Filter Flange Retention Design
The air filter utilizes a unique patent-pending flange retention design, allowing it to securely mount to the housing without any clamps or hardware. This innovative design simplifies installation while ensuring a reliable seal.
High-Quality ABS Housing w/ Carbon Fiber Look
The carbon fiber–look ABS plastic housing is precision-engineered to snap directly into the factory airbox using OEM mounting clips and locations. This design delivers a factory-like appearance while improving airflow and intake efficiency.
Mandrel-Bent Intake Tube
A one-piece 3.5-inch mandrel-bent intake tube, finished in electric sparkle blue powder coat, directs unrestricted airflow from the air filter to the throttle body. The smooth internal surface improves airflow velocity for increased horsepower and torque.
Hassle-Free Installation
