If it is not on sale anywhere else other than ebay then I would avoid.

Interesting idea but could you ever get it 100% clean and free of particles?

On several aircraft engine types (turbine & piston) this type of filtration is the norm, but an ultrasonic cleaner is recommended for proper servicing. A spin on type filter (Champion) is an available mod for piston engines, and increases the hours between servicing.

So - I guess there's no benefit, the cost of the mod + cleaning equipment against cost of replacement 'normal' filters. Also the mod filter element would need replacing periodically.
