Ah, I am replacing it from time to time...thats about it? I dont clean those things...just toss and replace. I know the oiled ones could be serviced, but honestly...not sure about the dry flow ones.
Here...I checked the AEM site (not sure why you didnt before posting a thead...but ok...I will do the work for you here...lol)
Here is a video on how to do it...

Q: How often should I clean the DRYFLOW filter?
A: Frequency of cleaning for your DRYFLOW filter will depend on the conditions in which you drive. As a rule, we recommend that you clean your filter a minimum of every 10,000 miles, inspect it during oil changes and regular service intervals, and clean it if it appears to be reaching its dust holding capacity. If you live in particularly arid, dusty climates or venture off road, we recommend cleaning the filter every 3-5,000 miles. Keep in mind that a clean air filter can increase fuel economy as much as 10% compared to a dirty air filter, and service time for the DRYFLOW filter is only approximately one hour, so you can accomplish it in about the time it takes to change your oil.

Q: How long does it take to clean the DRYFLOW filter?
A: The DRYFLOW filter media is hydrophobic, which is a fancy way of saying it does not soak up water. Under normal conditions, cleaning will take about an hour. We recommend that you follow the instructions that are included in our intake systems and DRYFLOW filter replacement filter kits (CLICK HERE for downloadable cleaning instructions). Unlike oiled filters that must be cleaned, then dried, then oiled, then wait for the oil to wick to the material and finally fill in any “gaps” where the oil did not wick, with the DRYFLOW you simply bucket soak it, bucket rinse, shake it out and it will be dry in approximately 30 minutes!

There ya go! They are cleanable and this is how ya do it. Honestly...I just buy new ones though.

i actually think benz' way of doing it is the easiest/quickest... but then most expensive..
I guess if you don't want to risk f'n something up, buy and replace..

I bought the AEM cleaning solution (from www.ptuning.com). It really wasn't very difficult. It was moderately dirty. It takes more time to access the filter than to do the actual cleaning. I will probably clean it a few more times before buying a new one.

Actually...my theory has always been on that....that I was just gonna buy new ones...clean the old ones and sell em on ebay as used cleaned filters for $10 or something. BUT...never have gotten around to it. Prob the best thing....would be to do em just like we do the no-toil filters we use on motocross bikes...have two...clean one at your leisure and have at the ready....and switch when ready....and repeat process. Then no wait for dry time.....and you can do it on your schedule.
