Intake Cleaning Question
So its that time. I just got an oil change, and its time to clean my CAI filter. My question to you is...how would i go about taking the filter off? Is there an easy way to do that? Or am i gonna have to take the entire intake off, then remove the filter, clean the filter, then put the whole assembly back on? What do you guys suggest. I looked at the engine bay, it didnt look like i could get to it from under my car to easily, especially since my car is lowered. Some help on the subject would be great!!
Thanks in advance,
Peace~

You shouldn't have to replace it that often!!! Just buy the K&N filter recharge kit available at any auto parts store. I cleaned mine after the winter and it wasn't even dirty, but I cleaned it anyhow. you shouldn't have to buy a new filter every time...
