I guess it's relative.
It's not that it's "cheap". But it's very close in price to having them professionally cleaned.

Take the whole air cleaner assembly off, and you'll be able to see how it seals. If it's sealed properly, then you're all set. If it's not sealed properly, your intake is ingesting unfiltered air.
