Those are perfect man.

Any opinion on sound/performance?

And as the other poster asked, stability?

 

Looks great! but any difference to the original filters?

 

What is the model on those filters? Thanks for test fitting man! I was going to jump the gun and get the Stillen V3's but you may have changed my mind since I do not want to cut/trim anything

 

Also these filters dont have to be oiled right?

 

stability? are you asking if they are wobbling, they are pretty fixed no flexing around, the takeda metal tubes are fixed to the bumper support with brackets and the filters clamp on strong to them no moving around..

its hard to hear them over the E370 but they are definitely louder. will have my buddy drive the car coming to me and i'll let you guys know..

too soon to tell. butt dyno said yes, but we all know the placebo effect to a new bolt on.

here the info on the filter....
RU-5114 - K&N Universal Air Filters, Universal Rubber Filter
but i would still recommend cutting so it wont restrict the elbow.

honestly not sure the product page didnt really say and it didnt come with anything specifying that it needs to be oiled

 

this guy had Make Offer i offered him $40 each and he accepted...

hit him up

 

whats a lil longer?

think i can still get my shield on ther?

really wish someone with some real knowledge would chime in on this share a filter theory big deal or nah

 

Funny I've been following this up till about a week ago, I have 2, Ru-2990's sitting in my kitchen going in tomorrow, I'll post some pics up too, nice work man!

 

K&N RU-3550 - Universal Air Filters, Universal Rubber Filter

Do you think these would be a better option for the cone style filter? They should be a little bigger than the 2990's you ordered. I'd imagine these are pretty close to the size of the Stillen Filters..

If you think these fit I think I am going to go ahead and order my takeda intake

 

Maybe this thread should be forwarded to Takeda to show them that there is an interest in dual filters for their intakes.

It might not be worth it to them business wise to offer two intake configurations though.

 

They need to be oiled...

 

"The Takeda Pro DRY S filter is a dry filter and requires no oil"

K&N will need to be oiled but some filters are oilless

 

got them done where's the pics!

looks like they will work.. try them out and post up

the RU-5114's?

 

shield or nah?

 

no shield.. i dont have one.. i believe the shield also fits between the filter and band and these filters together are about 1" longer so wont fit.. but may work with some others..
