So I installed the higher flow sprint filter the other day and at the time I looked at it it seemed symmetrical and none of the install instructions or videos I found mention a direction. But come to find out some the other aftermarket filters (DNA) have a directional arrow stamped on the frame of the filter. I didn't notice this on mine, but I didn't look that hard either. Web search revealed contradictory and sparse info about this.

Anyone here know for sure if the filter is non directional? It certainly fit just fine in the airbox. I could pull it out again and examine more closely but figured I'd ask here and save myself the trouble if anyone knows for sure.
 
The one that came with my Akrapovic exhaust had an arrow on it to indicate airflow. IIRC, there's a slight difference with the flange around it. One side being designed to insert into the airbox the other to seal against the side flaps which hold it down. I doubt the actual filter is directional.
 
Yup...directional.
