Supposedly ITG makes a filter for our cars so I'll probably try that next time.
Ironically, the only reason I changed the filter in the first place was because I wanted to remove the charcoal filters. So I figured if I'm going to open it up might as well throw in a better flowing replacement filter as well. So I order the filter. open her up, and find out I don't have the charcoal filters installed lol...

ITG does make a filter. It is the profilter , uses 3 layers of foam and is oiled and it never has to be cleaned. Not sure if I like the idea of never needs to be cleaned. Is this thing catching particles and where are they going it must get damn dirty? They say it last 4x longer than OE paper but to toss a $250 filter and replace...costly. I am considering BMC. ITG or K&N to replace stock in X6M.
