I have a Canton filter and the screen is replaceable. Supposed to be 2 to 3 times the amount of flow over a stock filter although a stocker worked just fine before...

When I do mine, I will use a Purolater.

Pure air now, pure air later!

Its like a 20 min job unless you have to replace one of the lines and have to go to the auto parts store to get a new one real quick. (I recommend anyway)
