air filter clean or replace?
I have an AEM intake and I've been trying to come up w/ ways to improve my gas mileage...even by a little bit. My filter hasn't been changed since I got the intake (October 2000) but I cleaned it a year ago. So it's been on for a little less than 3 yrs with one cleaning. Should I clean it again or replace it? If I replace it, what are some good sites to buy from?

Edit: You can purchase it through some online dealers or pick one up at an Autozone or Advance Auto Parts. BTW the AEM filter is really a K&N cone filter so if you see a K&N cleaner/recharge kit you'll be in business.

Go to www.aempower.com and select cold air replacement and your make and model. You will then see a screen for replacement filters AND the recharge/filter cleaning system. It is around $10.

are the injen filters also K&N? I have had mine for a while now and I am wondering about cleaning it also? I don't even know if it needs a recharge kit either?
