Got the AFe ( Takeda ) cone style Intake tube and box installed.
I did that for two reasons..

1. Sound
2. Looks

I did not expect any performance from this system, in fact.. i was expecting some loss in performance especially mid to top end. I speak from experience as I've done this on many cars before this one.

I am happy with the results, love the deep throaty sound the car makes when you step on it.

I don't feel I've lost power either. However, I have noticed throttle is more responsive initially... almost feels like I've installed a throttle controller.

A video of the system being installed. I'll post some more videos shortly.

I've installed a cone filter on a previous car and loved the throatier induction noise! Can this be replicated with a performance drop in filter? Or does it need to be a cone type filter?

Cone type only. If you look closely at the video, you will notice that I had previously installed a BMC high flow drop in filter.

Any difference between the Drop in Filter and Takeda system?

Sound? YES, much throatier sound under throttle and when valves open up at 5k rpm.
Performance? I feel I've lost top end power. But then again, ambient air temperatures in my country right now are in the 120'sF. Once the weather cools down, I should gain performance. We will see.

^^Yep. Besides, intakes are easy to remove before taking car in for service.
