I would just throw them away if they look as bad as the pictures appear.
I used to be a major user of Pipercross products but seldom got a full two years out of the filters. Maybe we were just cleaning them awfully hard.

Definitely dump those! I wondered if Piper Cross would stand up being a foam filter. Any foam filter I ever used degraded very quickly.
Go back to the stock filters or get dry filters from AFE or Weistec.
