From looking through a few of these, doesn't seem like they have any sort of filters.

Thanks.
Filter = screen. That is, a screen that you provide and install at the duct system's entry in your bumper cover (or wherever the ducted air is entering your system).

Make sure it's a screen made of wire with a diameter thick enough that it won't deform in the course of your normal use. For example, if you'll spend time on a track at high speeds, you'll need screen that is stiff enough to withstand the impact from decent-sized chunks of rubber or the occasional stone coming off of the cars in front of you. Err on the side of stiffer is better.
