El Cheapo cone intake

I got a APC cone intake from pep boys and I was wondering if anybody has experience with it? Will it damage my engine by not filtering all the particles?

I have an El Cheapo AutoZone filter.

My engine has not exploded yet.

They work fine, just not as well as others. It seems to be more for sound that true performance.

I would go quality just in case. My JWT does great and I haven't heard any filtering problems with it.

The Autozone ones can't be cleaned or reoiled. The APC filters are fine.

I have cleaned and re-oiled mine. Why can't this be done?
