Anyone done it yet? I changed mine 3k miles ago, and it's full again. I'm getting the Perform Service, along with a non-illuminated CEL code. I checked the back of the filter housing, and I can see oil blown out. So it's definitely getting a lot of pressure...
By the looks of this picture/illustration, is there any reason why the filter needs to be installed?
I already have the tube that attaches to the air-inlet tube seperated/filtered with a breather filter. Although it was positive pressure anyway.
Here's some more pictures...the filter doesn't really seem to be anything besides a media the air passes through.
Why not just remove the filter? Can anyone see a reason it wouldn't work?
