If you have a properly running engine and good rubber mounts on the airbox, then there shouldn't be any problems. I've not had to mess with mine in ages after I replaced all the mounts and filter a long while ago, and my engine runs very smoothly, so the mounts seem to last a pretty long time for me. OEM is the way to go, the engineers in Stuttgart knew what they were doing when they designed the air intake/filtration system for these engines.....the cheaper the filtration you have, the more silicon you get into the engine, the more wear, the less longevity.
