Default Poor man's dust collector improvement

I've modified my dust collector setup to improve performance and reduce

I ripped the thing appart, hung the motor upside down from the ceiling

How long have you been running it like that? On Bill Pentz' site he
discusses the cartridge filters on single-stage collectors. The basic
result was that they work for a while but then get clogged up and/or
damaged by debris and end up performing worse.
