Take out the air cleaner. There is an inlet hole in your airbox where the air comes in from the front of the vehicle. Make sure nothing is obstructing that tube. You may have to remove the cover over the headlights to get accesss to the front of it.
I use a Fram AIR HOG, Don't seem to be having the problem that you are. Searcher
Any chance you are getting a lot of water (or other liquid like oil) in your intake? There is no way the filter should be collapsing assuming it is staying relatively clean and dry. If a filter gets wet, (or incredibly dirty) the engine vacuum will collapse it.
