I just ordered one from Meraki this afternoon, you can get it for a better price than that thru them. I decided with this one over the HPS so I can have a deeper sound, install should be really easy. I don't think install would be a issue for someone who has never installed it before. I went with polished since everything else in the engine is mostly black. The people I saw who had the intake all seemed to really like them.

I just ordered mines this afternoon as well. OP I would check them out. Was looking to get rid of the sound generator and have the deeper sound. Also waiting on exhaust.

I've noticed that the difference between the polished and the black Takeda intakes is that the polished comes with a 3-layer oil-free filter, while the black comes with a 5-layer oiled filter.

Thoughts on the pros/cons of each?

Thanks for the quick respond is it too much to ask you how much did you pay for the air filter and can you tell me which web side is

Thanks Eli
