Tis, these gutters are being installed under my deck as part of the under deck ceiling system I installed so no leaf filters.

What I can tell you about leaf filters is don’t bother with those cheap plastic white ones that the big box stores sell that snap in your gutter. I installed some of those at my home and they let more water go over the gutter than in it!…they are just terrible!

I replaced some of those plastic ones with some stainless steel mesh ones that are bendable. You can bend them into a trough shape that fits inside your gutter and they work very well and don’t impede water from flowing into the gutters.
