K&N Typhoon or Takeda Short Version

Sorry for revisiting an old thread, but my concern is as follows, since we're on an intake debate here. How would you rate the ease of filter replacement on the Gen3 intake? Does it require removal of the front bumper similar to the installation of the intake?

Also, if anyone can recall on the 350z the stock air intake was plenty adequate and I'd imagine it should suffice on the 370z with better filters and post MAF hoses. I'm sure with some modification to the airbox itself allowing cold air from the center of the front bumper or below the bumper to find access to the airbox would see increased benefits. I haven't peaked around, but for me having a CAI on my previous vehicle which required me to remove the front bumper to replace/wash it was a pain.
