DrR10n - After 3-months the filter has stayed pretty clean, but then again I keep my engine bay so clean you could eat off of it.. Once the whole assembly has been in your engine bay for a while, un-installing and re-installing for service is alot easier for two reasons, A. you know what to expect and B. all the rubber hoses have a 'memory'.

Absolutely no problems, no rattles, and it still sounds fantastic -- best aftermarket upgrade I've done. Added plus, averaging 27.5 to 28 MPG too which isn't bad for a car with a 23 city / 32 hwy EPA sticker.

Enjoy!
sweet! good to know. are you actually getting BETTER mileage with the FIPK?
