I don't think that would negatively affect it

As a matter of fact, I think that is a brilliant idea! I'm gonna do the same thing to both of my Compacts and my old Kenmore canister. Where do you get those filters?

Those are great filters. I used one on the Avocado Bomber when it still had the modern high airflow Lamb 115923 motor in it and it doesn't harm performance. The lid would still flex inward if you pulled suction, lol. Highly recommended. I wish I had clearance between the motor and the lid on some of my last gen square Kenmores so I could run this filter.
