My new Air Filter issue

[Barber31]

I purchased the filter from Snyders. This is the first time I have recieved a part that was damaged or faulty from any of the vendors. I've always been satisfied with all my purchases, and I've tried quite a few places. Thanks for all the replies. I am planning on upgrading to a K&N also. I know most say they don't need filters but I just can't see how not running a filter will not cause problems down the road. So much dirt and crud accumulates in every nook and cranny in the engine compartment, I can only imagine how much is attracted when there's suction added to the equation.
