Ok, but that's not really cost cutting, that's avoiding cost ballooning.
Its true that there is likely a CFRP solution that would be viable from a technical standpoint, but they also have to work within the margins of the product. No doubt that they have some wiggle room there, sure, but certainly they will have at least explored that idea because they knew exactly how this solution would go over with the enthusiast crowd - with a very loud thud.
Probably they could have located whatever this new filter is somewhere else too, again with more rework at a higher cost to develop and produce the parts.
In the end it's always about money, but money doesn't always mean greed, sometimes it means remaining profitable.

Steel is a different color from CFRP so turn that frown upside down - a new color driveshaft is incoming soon!
