Injen CAI- replace/clean filter?

What up--It's time to really get my filter replaced or would you guys suggest to use filter cleaner. If the cleaner is the way to go...could you recommend a good brand. Some are suggesting a K&N filter cleaner. If anyone also has a DIY I would also appreciate.

used the K&N as well, very easy to use. I didn't notice that much dirt in mine, maybe b/c I had the drycharger on over it

Mine was filthy.

And the kit should be good for at least 3 or so cleanings so it well worth the $14.99 CAD or probly $10 US

Where have you been able to find it in Canada? I know Canadian Tire carries them but they're way more than $15 (I recall like $35+ for a kit).

My parts supplier can get everything under the sun, except K&N or other brand recharge kits -- something about them not clearing customs, ever... but says Canadian Tire somehow circumvents the problem and thus are the only ones to carry it.

Advice?

Wierd. I'll have to check the new (bigger) one that's a decent drive from my area of the city. The few CT's I've checked never had them when I was looking.

Maybe. I have a newer one in my area. They keep them with all the K&N filters. Usually locked up in a cage.
