its the same material as the filters i used to use on my dirtbikes and the best way to clean them is usually to soak it with gas in a bucket it or something like that, let it dry and use some oil, Pj-1 works good

but the k&n cleaners work good too

ditch the foam filter, pieces of the element fall apart and get sucked intot your motor, get a real knn cone

my lag is your courtesy head start


ATTENTION.... installing a head gasket, head studs or pistons and rods in your otherwise STOCK engine dose not make it a "built" engine! stop listing you cars for sale saying they are built when its not!!

^ beat me to it..

personally, I have never had it happen, but I've also never kept on of those style filters for more than a few months...
Heard of it happening way too many times...
Seems like it isn't that bad of a filter for an occationally driven car, as in show style cars and/or track cars. Seems like the change in temp. from a daily driven car is what does them in...

^ cheaper foam filters i can understand on the falling apart thing, but i doubt hks would make a shitty filter, let alone sell it if they fall apart easily.
