My filter is dirty, so I am wondering what you have used to clean yours, and if it worked well or not? I thought just taking a water hose to it with a nozzle that shoots a straight stream of water to the thing. What do you recomend?

Ben - Get a K&N recharger kit. It has a special detergent and reoiling spray.

Better yet, quit sucking in hot underhood air and get back to the factory goodies. :D

I have the factory intake on it now. Just doesn't look as good :pface And seriously, I can feel a small loss of power through-out the rpm's. Doesn't have that same growl either ;) I *could* get a K&N drop in and use the factory tubing, but, I think I like the idea of getting a K&N cone filter recharger kit. That thought had crossed my mind, just forgot about it, which is why I posted this thread, heh.

By the way, I wasn't sucking in the underhood hot air, I had the cold air extension on. It was sucking in the nice air close to the road, heh.
