I did it. I regretted it. It didn't seal off inside the air box. It's a hassle to clean, allows big stuff past it. You need to keep a paper filter for when the fancy one is drying.
The home brew filter, design available on this site, hadn't been worked out when I did it. The performance change was negligible if any. But I didn't dyno, so, I don't know really.

I had that filter in my S40 for 3,000 miles before my "upgrade project". Mine came with a small metal piece and screw that held the filter in place in the stock air box sealed perfectly. With recommended cleaning, it should last you 5-10 years. It does allow a better air flow than paper filters, but I installed at same time I rejetted the carb, so performance gain for filter alone = ?.. ( I use this type of filter on my wife's DTS and my truck with out issue.)

yes, have it installed right now ... as old indian pointed out, there's a metal bracket that screws the filter flush for a tight fit.
