Takeda Intake Do I drill ???
So I am installing these and I came across this . Is it normal for a intake to have such a small hole or do I need to drill ????

What made you decide to get rid of the Stillens and go with this one?

I think a lot of people here would be interested in your thoughts, comparing the two.

is that on the breather nipple? that does look like it impedes flow but not sure how much flow or pressure relieving is needed.

breather doesnt need much flow, i would leave it. Not 100% sure on the mechanics behind it. but for some reason it reminds me of putting a 6 inch exhaust on a car that needs a 2 inch exhaust.

Remember PCV works only under low vacuum, which means high throttle conditions.
If they intended this, then you will lose air to the crankcase when you floor it.
Technically more air will get to the intake via the intake port rather than regulated through the throttle body.
I would think it would cause a lean condition.
