Hey brotha' I have the GMPP Intake Kit.....and I cleaned mine with Simple Green cleaner because it's not caustic to the paper element. It's a good cleaner for the "dry" filters of any make. You can also use it on your nice wheels and it won't dmage them.

I clean my GMPP filter about every 10,000 miles because really, I live in a dusty environment. GM reccomends cleaning it about once every 90 days or sooner if need be.

Do you own one yet?

Damn! Your filter is CLEAN....lol....

Mine looks like the inside of a vaccum cleaner...lol.

I think it's the best CAI that I've ever owned. And.....it allows for a nice dry shot...lol

I believe you're just supposed to replace it.

Like Zippy said...we can just replace it....but I cleaned mine...lol.

I sparayed it down with a liberal coating of Simple Green...sprayed it off...and used a hair dryer. Or air drying works just as well...lol
