The Takedas are a dumb design IMO. If you need a new filter, you're f'd

I thought the point of that filter is that it's washable. For the position I don't see how anything can damage the filter without severely damaging your front bumper as well, in which case you've probably got bigger issues.

I'm not a fan of it personally, but it's not without it's reasoning.

It's in the same place as stillens, but I'm just wondering how it would work with the two intakes drawing through the same filter, if there isn't some internal divider inside, I wonder how the different banks pulsing might affect the actual "intake" of air on both sides. Would they combat each other hindering performance?
