My opinion is:
Not worth the risk, if it’s anything like the K&N style I question how much actually gaining and how much dust is actually getting by that filter.
Then the question of did I get enough or to much oil sprayed back on the filter. I’ve heard after time you loose some of the filtering of the filter when you clean it over and over again.
I say just monitor your air filter restriction gauge and replace when gauge is showing restriction.
In my younger days yeah all about the hype, but now Newell built it well and I trust the filters that are industry standard. And really.... I don’t worry about MPG anymore, it is what it is and it costs to play.
