Dare I say the Takeda take longer to install despite requiring no cutting because you have to line up the silicon hoses. Also no risk to damage AC lines with Takeda due to silicon pipes in that area versus aluminum.
Also prefer Takeda b/c 1 filter (dry) over 2 oiled KN style filters.
OP flip a coin and that's the intake you'll buy because that's about the only way to decide IMO

the filter can be dry or oiled it has changed. in all honesty does it really matter? you can always swap them (on stillen you can also order dry's).

I have 0 shop experience and very little mechanical work. 5 doller dremel bit and it literally took me maybe 10 miuntes for both sides to dremel out. If you're using a drill bit dremel you probably don't even need to protect your ac lines during the job... (I was OCD)
I used a piece of weather strip in between the ac lines and intakes. My install job left a small gap so there is a bit of pressure pressing it down but it was not resting on the intakes.
I can't speak for Takeda's gains but in canadia I was checking prices... they were about the same price with Takeda's being a slight cheaper (like 50 bucks) but I chose the stillen as their is multiple non-stillen verifications of gains.
Choice is yours at the end of the day.
