Broken air filter

Post by Niel »

Today while looking at the air filter I saw the center plastic ring inside the filter was broken

My question is will this "broken filter" have any negative impact on the vehicles performance? I personally don't think so but who knows. My gut feel is to replace it but is it really required? Pics attached.
