I have a Xepher CAI (old school CL'er) need to change have ?'s
I bought a Xepher CAI from PAA back in the day. It has been like 80-90k miles without replacing or cleaning it. Does anyone know where i can buy a replacement Cone or can i just clean it?
Anyone know the size of the cone?
I dont really wanna buy a whone new CAI cuz this one has the think to keep water out and is still fine other then really dirty and gas is $$ so a new clean cone will prolly ups my gas milage!!
Thanks guys!!

your best bet is to take the filter off and take it to either an autoparts store or better yet a tuner shop.
or take pics and post them here. did you search the site for an answer?

You might be able to clean it. 80-90k is a long time without a cleaning. Just go to the local auto parts store and get a K&N filtercharger cleaning kit. It's all the same for the most part.
What is the "thing to keep water out?"
