This isn't a big problem but just something you might want to take into consideration.
With copper, aluminum, and rubber air lines you don't have this problem. If you've got PVC air lines then whoever installed those was just plain ignorant or stupid. I'd be more worried about getting maimed or killed then whether or not I should have a filter on my PVC lines.
PVC makes great FIRST game pieces, not air lines!

Although unlikely I suppose that PVC pipe could burst under the pressure, more likly the connectors. Most PVC pipe is rated in the 300-600psi range, well below aircompressor range.
