When runnig forced induction & you are not running a recirculationg bypass valve, you pull a ton of air through the filter & vent it out the bypass valve back to the atmosphere.
This means your supercharger is pulling the same volume as if you were at full throttle, but it is not going in the engine. Your filter probably cleaned enough air for 50K miles of driving in just a few months.
It is advisible to clean the filter frequently, because if it gets restrictive,the supercharger will likely collapse it.
