I reused it. I think reusing once or twice is all good. but next time im going to replace it with new one though.

Reuse it. Those things can last for a LONG time. Just clean and reuse it.

cleaning depends on which filter you have. the older aem intake have filters that need to be oiled. aem filter cleaning kits are available at your local autoparts store. aem now ships with dryflow air filters that are oil free.
