It is my understanding that when you get an Air Intake (not stock), that you really don't need to replace the air filter unless something is physically wrong with it. In terms of maintenance, and time that it has been used they sell cleaning solutions specifically made for these types of air filters so you in can just clean the current one (new once again), let dry, and reinstall in a couple of hours.
The AEM Short RAM that I have I think sounds great! It is not loud at all if I am not pushing the car hard, but if I want to push the RPM's over 3000 then the sound does start to kick in.
