I'm not familiar with the Vortech filter. If it's a dry filter you'll need to replace it, I'd assume. If it's oiled, you'll need a recharge kit so you can do the wash, dry and reoil. Most any kits (K&N and others) will work. You can even pick what color oil you want.

haha, i didnt even realize they were in the pic
i just got back from a trip to OC MD. only caught a few small spots and rockfish, using bloodworms. Nobody had any real live bait in stock, so catching anything of decent size was prolly out of the question lol
still fun though! saw one lady catch a blue that was ok though

Yea, the clip closest to the pass side fender is a biatch.
The new and improved water leak prevention clips have
heat activated sealing glue on them.
No more fighting the loosing battle of the clips.
Once you install them and heat the adhesive,
they are in there for the duration and one less
leak point to worry about.
The first step in replacing the cabin air filter should be:
1. Go get the new improved cowl clips from the Stealership.
2. Obtain a new cabin air filter.
.....
Did ya cut open the fuel filter to see the gunk levels or just toss
it in the trash? I would like to see some pics of fuel filter internals
with various amounts of mileage on them.
I cut open my oil filters to observe just what they trap
and how my MAGFILTER is working to trap magnetic particals.
The filter never has seemed too awful dirty.

The best fix I found is to remove the foam seal and glue the clips in place with "Automotive Goop". It's messy and difficult to work with because it dries quickly but it does work.
BTW, I have pictures of the clips installed and part numbers for the new clips that I can post later. But I would not recommend them.
