Point of clarification: it is an inlet filter. I would have more concern with a venting filter since they are actually exposed to pressure. It is part of a COTs pneumatic component. Actually it would need to be part of the compressor since inlet filters aren't a listed allowed component.

From a safety point of view: its trivial. From a strict reading of the rules you cannot modify pneumatic components.
