Thats the problem with the Takeda also....If you look where the 2 pipes connect with a coupler, the coupler is the bend for the piping to route to the front. Stillen, the pipe is actually the bend itself and the 2 pipes actually connect with a basic 3 ply coupler which means it could easily be swapped out with a bypass valve. Assuming thats why the stillen is more expensive also due to the pipe having mandrel bends compared to takeda using a coupler to make the bend.....Then there's my idea where you could always cut the takeda pipe into THREE piece setup instead of 2 and install a bypass valve on part of the straight pipe pre-maf....... up to you really whats worth the effort or not.
