Its not a bad deal if you figure you never need to replace it... Don't buy it for the horsepower gain...

Well I wouldn't even think of it that way I'm just wondering I hear a lot of people saying dust gets in the engine and causes more problems in the long run not sure how true it is

Never had a problem from the one I used. However like said before you won't really see any power gains.

I had a full intake and it definitely sounded different compared to stock.
