Then again, no idea how often you really need to change out the filters.

Well I believe with the Takeda's as well, as with any intake with a pipe OD of more than 1.5" you have to expand the front damn holes. So that's why they're all relatively the same about of labor required.

Yes, I believe the Takeda use a Dry filter.

The Oiled filters only need to be cleaned (depending on climate/use) every 20k, or more. When I was in AZ due to all the dust, I had my K&N drop ins cleaned every oil change, it was just easier to do since the hood was open anyways.

Now that I'm not in AZ anymore, I haven't cleaned them since... Which I really need to do. But it's not worth the cost of the re-oiling kit. When I get the intakes I want, I'll be getting dry filters for them regardless of if they come with K&N's or not.
