Need a new air filter...
Right now I have a Ractive intake on my car and the filter is going to need either cleaning or replacing very soon... are the Ractive filters cleanable? And if so, what do I clean them with?
If not, what should I buy? Would a basic conical K&N work, or are there different sizes?

The main thing is to match up the Flange Inside Diameter - Basically the diameter of the intake pipe. This is the K&N I will be purchasing soon

I'm either getting an Injen SRI or a K&N FIPK. I have a noname Ebay intake and I was going to put the K&N filter on there after I bent it to fit my car, but I deceided to just get a different intake...

If you want a filter for your intake, check out http://sbfilters.com they can custom make and the price is good. THey are reusable and cleanable. I have an AEM intake and I tried the AEM filter compared to the S&B and there was a difference. It maybe the fact there is more filter for air to go through and that the top end is also conical. Another great part is it has a chrome ring on it, very nice looking filter, easy to clean etc.

That looks exactly like the K&N i was going to get, cept a knockoff... I'd say you might be able to, But maybe it'd be better to get one you KNOW you can wash
