Cleanable air filters are an awful thing. I've never seen throttle bodies and intakes as dirty as when people use K&N filters and junk like that. The filter on the RX3 is junky foam that you apply oil to in order to be cheap. Most people apply too much oil, and get oil all over the intake. Then the dirt that bypasses the filter sticks to it. Since oiled junk foam is a terrible filtering agent, lots of dirt gets in.
