Yeah I get the WIX filters (always way up there on filtration and flow tests I have seen) and just replace them twice a year. I have ran K&N before, but after some research I found that OEM paper filters filter waaaayyyyyy better and that the flow differences are negligible.
Not too mention cleaning the K&N is a PIA.

See? I am as ghetto as it gets when it comes to my OWN car. It isn't crazy if the dirt falls out and the filter looks good. I still have my intake duct attached and I only get dust on the filter. Even when back in MI, that was the case.

um dude. that looks cool and all but you are decimating your car's performance. you could put a drop in filter in there, and it would still look pretty bad ***. PLUS you wouldn't have to pull out your air box to check if it's dirty 
but listen to everyone on here dude. your mpg/ torque/ EGT performance just got shot. if you're going to use a cone filter, upgrade to a AEM dry flow, or a K&N cone, apexi, a REPUTABLE source. APC is cheap for a reason. trust me. i used to work at advance auto and got CONSTANT returns on their stuff. we're not all on here to flame you. we're trying to help you out. The mazda filter or k&N drop in is where it's at. although i'm going back stock next time it needs a charge

lol is the piping on the intake by any chance....
..... pvc piping hahahahaha, on othere hand what about the hks or greddy type filters on the same oem box for the intake its not much of a cone filter but a circular sponge?...i think it would give it more space to breath and particles will be colected better then the specter...i like the box with the pexi glass it looks pretty awesome!

so I got rid of the crappy apc filter and went with the K&N filter.. put the bell back on along with the screens. Thanks for all the advice... It doesnt look as cool as the cone, but i guess it was the right thing to do.
