How can I dry it out, I have no blow dryer...

 

drive cho car...that will let the air flow over it and dry it out and also cool your intake charge...

 

would driving it with the heat on dry it faster?

 

Heat doesn't affect your air filter area, you know what I mean, but the heating system is along the firewall, just drive it around, It can't be at all enough wet to hydro lock your car anyways, drive it or idle it for 5 minutes.

 

how the heck did it get wet in the first place????

well if it is thoroughly soaked then you can just shake the excess water off. If it isnt that bad could put it in the sunlight or over a heating vent to let the air naturally dry it. And if you need it done quicker just spray it with WD40 and light a match :rick:

 

You should never blow dry a filter. Excess heat will shrink the cotton filter media. Don't use compressed air either, it will blow holes in the element...assuming you have a K&N style filter. Best way, let it dry naturally.

 

 

its made from cheese cloth, which in general is mostly used for cooking. i cant imagine why it wouldnt be able to stand the heat especially since the engine gives off more heat onto the filter on a short ram when the fans turn on.

 

what kind of question is that?h:

 

It's an APC filter on an aem cai.. I can't find the K&N filters anywhere...it's still a little damn, and my car is still a tad slow to accelerate......I'm just going to get a new filter..thanks for your help
