You will have to remove the bumper to change/clean/oil the filters, there's really no realistic way around that. After you've done it once though, removing that bumper is pretty easy. I bet next time I can do it in 10-15 minutes tops.

Basically taking off the bumper entails:

1) Remove that plastic shield under the engine (the same one you remove for oil changes)
2) Remove the little spoilers in front of the front wheels (sport package, 3 little bolts each)
3) Remove the little plastic cover between the radiator and the bumper under the hood (all plastic snaps)
4) Remove one plastic snap from inside each front wheel well, and loosen a bolt hidden under there
5) Remove two more bolts under the car in the front corners of the bumper (just behind the main front spoiler from the sport package)
6) Pull on the bumper near the headlights and it just unsnaps and comes free

That combined with the long cleaning interval on the K&N's should make it a non-issue.
