Is the ITG cold air jobbie a foam filter? If so I wouldn't bother. I know they are top quality but even a cheapo cotton filter is protected from knocks with a metal gauze from stuff (insects/rocks) coming through the inlet. Much more robust solution IMHO and requires a bit less care. Rough Loving will suffice

If the maxogen filter is owt like the panel filter, it'll have a wire weave to maintain rigidity

it's not - it's "just foam"

Pipercross is the same. Cotton filters sandwich the filter medium between two bits of gauze though, and don't start to break up if mistreated.

Downside is that they flow a little less air (especially if they are not kept tip-top clean)
