Wonder if this is why my gas mileage has been sucking
![[Image: editfilter.jpg]](http://www.photodump.com/direct/mpg9999/editfilter.jpg) To anyone that has a CAI with the filter in a direct path to outside airflow (like my AEM CAI), I'd suggest cleaning it often, maybe as often as every 5,000 miles. -Mike

I've been running my CAI for about 12,000 and it looks more like your new one than your old run. Where have you been running that thing?

i've had mine for probably 6k miles, it was used and hasn't really gotten any dirtier since. how do you clean them anyway?

damn, that filter is filthy. I usually clean mine every 10k miles but it's never looked like that before. Enter any rally-x's ? :wink:

Getting the aem bypass valve really doesn't do anything to help with water as attested to many people on forums who have hydro-locked their cars. and notice that they haven't run a dyno comparison to show the power loss with adding in the bypass valve :wink:

I have a K&N filtercharger, works pretty well, I probably get a new one, sooner or later.
