Wow! That was quick. Great to hear you really like it. Definitely, amps up the anticipation for it. I will get rid of those stickers and make it look really clean and OEM.
So you can just get the Takeda intake tube and still hook it up to the stock air box, like your picture shows? Everywhere I've seen has the cone filter which I don't want. I want just the tube to hear a bit more of the intake. I like OEM/stock filters honestly. They design a system that works. Not saying the cone filter doesn't but I feel like longevity and reliability are what I am going for. I don't need to make more power, just would like the sound.
The intake comes with everything with it including the assembly that fits with the stock airbox and it houses the conical filter. It has a conical velocity stack filter for higher airflow into the tube. If you want to go with just the tube then there are other options like the RR racing carbon elbow or the ModInJapan Titanium silver/blue, which looks great. However, in order to gain more induction noise and some added midrange punch and a bit more power, the filter is essentially the thing that increases the "snarl" effect through higher volume of airflow as well as the vibration of the filter (as the housing holding the filter is made of flexible rubber so the filter moves when you are in high rpms). Switching out just the pipe with another paper filter will essentially sound like stock. You won't get more deeper/growling induction noise without a conical velocity stack.
