What do you guys think of the J's Racing intake design? I am thinking about it as alternative to gruppem and mugen

Ignore the fact that it is bling and expensive, but would be good to get people's comment on its design and functionality.

It's main selling point would be the scoop which draws air before the radiator without an exposing scoop. Furthermore, the filter is easier to access for maintenance. So in my opinion, it's a mix of the features of the gruppem and mugen.

My main concern for the scoop is that it requires drilling to install and the fact the scoop is rather larger than I would like to be. Being so large, it looks as if it is blocking half the air flow to the radiator. The 2nd concern is that the vacuum tube or whatever they call that tube that bridges to the rocker cover is unfiltered.

So I'm wondering if these points i mentioned would be its Achilles heels.

Pictures on how it looks below:
