3 months later, I popped open the top of the box and removed the filter. I opted for the oiled filter basically, because it's cheaper by about $30 than the Dolandson. Most of these companies recommend cleaning every 10k miles. I'm barely at 2k miles since installation and it appears filthy. The filter that was initially blue, is now white. So, obviously, the oil dried up. I'm wondering how effective this filter is at this point dried up. These are designed to be oiled, as the oil is whats catching the small particles.
I dont know if the access dirt is related to the scoop or not but I would assume it is. The inner pleats are absolutely caked with crap.
I can see myself getting a replacement AFE or S&B filter to drop in this box here in the near future.
The inside of the air box was clean as was the tube leading to the throttle body. There was no oil residue or dirt inside the tube, which tells me the filter is working at least.
This is 2000 miles and a little less than 3 months of driving. I installed this intake August 2nd.
