Have to look into that.Why have you kept it? I'm sure you can sell it quickly.

The foam filters have always been suspect to me vs. an oiled high flow/dry high flow.AFE Proguard 7 with prefilter on my '08 Can Am Outlander Max.
This is the only filter I have tried that keeps my intake clean. I tried stock and Twinair foam filters with poor results.

K & Ns and other cloth based filters are great on flow and terrible at filtering.Post your miles on the filter since last cleaning.
I'll start. 14K miles/7 mos. It's a Neuspeed filter from my intake but this is just a re-badged K&N. Been driven hard (including track time) and in some pretty dusty conditions on a mountain cruise and as I'm finding, open-element intakes get dirty fast! I've had replacement K&Ns look better after 50K miles. I wash them and let them dry in front of a fan overnight and then re-oil with the canned aerosol oil.

Nobody here thinks they filter as efficiently as a paper filter but the difference for me isn't worth worrying about.K & Ns and other cloth based filters are great on flow and terrible at filtering.
I think it has more to do with the design of the factory air box. Every time the air makes a turn dust can drop out.I'll also chime in to say taht ever since switching to the Unitronic closed/carbon fiber intake on my Sportwagen that comes with a re-branded AEM dry flow that seems to be the forum darling for high-flow filters...lots of dust in the intake tube...never had that with the K&N oiled filter on my old open intake or when I just had the drop-in. I keep meaning to figure out a K&N universal that will fit it b/c I think they are superior.
Inside of the MAF body looks like it has a thin layer of dust.Here's my drying setup. All dry/ready for oil. Also a pic of the Atlas's MAF...clean as a whistle/looks new.
Sorry man...was v. clean.
Looks to me if you swiped a finger on that surface, it's going to leave a clean streak. Looks too nonuniform to be clean plastic ... just how the photo looks to me.Sorry man...was v. clean.
I can't control how the phone pics look...it was very clean. Guess you'll have to take my word for it. The inlet hose on my wagon is dusty as hell...I know the difference.Looks to me if you swiped a finger on that surface, it's going to leave a clean streak.

Gonna keep running it as is? I feel like you should clean it while you have it outSo here's my wife's Atlas. 55K miles. K&N in at 5K so 50K on it/6 years this month. First time cleaning it and TBH, don't need to. There is no fine dirt or oily residue in the intake tube. The MAF isn't fouled with oil. UOAs that I have done show normal SiO2. These photos have been my experience with K&N air filters for the last ~25 years.
