About drop-in engine filters and aftermarket air intakes.

No idea. I don't have one. Maybe ask @optronix? That might change now, though.

I don't think I've had this intake for 10k miles, barely over a year. I was just starting to think about it, and was actually thinking of buying another filter to have on standby. They're "only" $90.

I'll probably see if I can just buy a dry filter now. At this moment I only see the "cotton" filter for sale individually on their site but I'll probably email them when I feel like actually ordering one. Probably towards the fall.

I emailed. Their customer service replies fast

That settles it. Did they list a price? I guess to cover their R&D costs I'd accept a modest increase but if it's $150 I'll pass.

Also FWIW, not sure I made this part clear or not- I definitely felt a power increase with the intake/inlet tube post-install. It's been proven multiple times on forums and YouTube dynos. It's not life changing but it's noticeable.

Excited to see if they share filtration/flow specs for the paper filter. Also to get some feedback from users on the filter change process.

No bro sorry I didn’t ask. The oil one is like 90$. I can’t help but think maybe this will fall in that range too?

In the email. The testing that was done was with the paper filter. Allegedly. But was also told the paper filter is rowdy and wooshes very very well.

not sure what testing they were talking about. I immediately lost interest cuz I saw a few a10 warthogs in formation outside. Sorry bro

I received my intake with the paper filter:

Here are "close-ups" with the filter held directly in front of a bright light (first with flash on, second with flash off):

I don't have any real testing / specs / data, but going off a visual inspection only, I've seen (and was expecting) much worse.

How does it sound? Is swapping the filter on the infinity fast and quick? Seems like it would

I haven't installed it yet -- planning to do it next weekend (gonna do a transmission fluid change while I have the airbox out and an oil change since that means I'll have the car up / undertray off, etc.). I'll let you know.
