The cabin filters are a royal PITA to change.
The intake filters for the 2020+ takes a bit more work to get them swapped, but its nowhere near a $1200 job. You have to remove two front braces, and the intake tubing, then the covers, which one T screw is a bit of a pain to get out. I took my time and it probably took me 45 minutes. I could do it again in 20 to 30. Swapped my stock filters out with high flow BMC filters. Definitely made a difference in turbo and blowoff sound.
