It isn't paper, it's cotton with screen reinforcing like the K&N, only it is a LOT stiffer than the K&N filters with their soft rubber support. It just hasn't been oiled yet or run on the road so it looks new (well..., it is). Also, the tube that I used for the bend has a welded-in air nipple just for breathers, that's why I used this instead of making the tubing myself. For the time to get bent tubing and then weld a nipple to it, it was worth hacking this thing apart. Since the tubing has a fitting in it, there's no need to try to mount a breather line into the end of a filter.
