Resmed S8 Version 2

After trying out my original filter mods I found myself working harder to breathe than I did before. Under load, the filter media surface area was just too small to avoid straining the motor, and my lungs. So, I did what any other hacker would do. I multiplied the surface area by 8, and tried again. Problem solved, but, instead of a square patch, I ended up with this 6" white felt tube sticking out of the corner, and the whole thing looks rather obscene. Fortunately I'm now putting the S8 in my night stand, with plenty of ventilation, and you can't see it. What would mom think?
