I like the way it looks. Do you guys think there is a huge difference b/w the Stillen & Takeda? I still have a ways to go before I decide to go with a CAI. I heard you want to wait until you have at least 5k miles on your car before installing a CAI. I like the way Takeda looks more than the Stillen CAI. I am not a huge fan of cutting something out of the front bumper. Does the Takeda CAI come with a bypass value, or is that something that you have to purchase separately & install? Is there huge differences is sounds & performance gains from short, or long CAI's?
The Takeda Stage 2 Intake requires no cutting/drilling to the bumper. Just a straight bolt on installation.

15hp/16tq, 3hp less for $100 less then the stillen......seems very worth it to me.
Your right, the shield will protect most of the rain that might hit the filter. However, the filter would need to be soaked/fully submerged in water to even get enough water hydrolock the motor.
Here's a video of the Takeda Stage 2 Intake installed on our G37:
