So does this ever get changed?

[bairjo]

All these years changing my air filters and I never looked up inside here. Does this screen/filter or whatever it is called ever need changed? I can't find anything in the 08 shop manual showing this.

No it is permanent from factory. It's an emissions charcoal filter

[bairjo]

thank you...now I don't feel like a dumb ass...

The idea is that the air going through it is already cleaned by the engine air filter, so no replacement required.

Cheers.
