I have the volant cai on my car w/ the slp ho ram air hood.. Though I didnt remove my baffles. I also have the SSRA. Which I am assuming is similar tot he slp one but yours is metal i think 
Where the scoop comes up ont he volant I also did the FRA mod to it as well.. Cut out the 2 inch by like 12 inch or so slot out of the bottom of it. I didnt really think the car would breathe that well thru the baffles.

over Memorial Day. I also put a C5 BLACKWING in the VOLANT AIRBOX and it was a tight fit and had to remove excess material from the front of the filter.

As far as cleanign the filter... omg no.. not actually doing regular maintainance!!! When Ihad a lid and SSRA w/ FRA I actual used to vacuum up occassional leaves. Nothign huge.. once a week or so Id lift it up and chk it out.
So far having the car almost a week.. no leaves,.. *its not fall* but no real visible signs of pollen or dust and junk. Filter seems ok so far, and if one side gets too dusty, with the cone filters you can turn em 90* etc if you dont want to clean em right away.
The only pain inthe *** is that I didnt get a 2nd set of filters. SO that while I clean and re-oil these I wont have a back up set to use if I want to go driving. Whereas witht he lid set up I had the K7N and a paper back up filter.
