i installed my CAI about a year ago and i am wondering if it can be clean and reuse or does it need to be replace.

 

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.

 

thanks guys, what do you guys clean it with?

 

soap and water... but they sell cleaning solutions if you want to go that route also...

 

Do i just dip it in the soapy water and let it dry?

 

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.
