Great idea but when i did that i found out when i failed my smog check, since i live in Cali. you need a carb sticker crap and so since i had my k&N filter i just bought a AEM pipe and then i passed, but nothing against the ebay intakes pipe it was good but as far as the filter ....:thinking: yeah i didnt even think twice about that filter and so i bought a K&N great.

ok i have a question that i been thinking about. i oiled my K&N using K&N's oil/cleaning kit and followed these directions
7. AEROSOL OILING
After cleaning air filter always re-oil before using. Spray K&N air filter oil down into each pleat with one pass per pleat. Wait 10 minutes and re-oil any white spots still showing.

now when i sprayed each pleat, the spray was wide enough to hit about 10 at a time. so i made 1 pass on about 10 at a time instead of each pleat in fear of overoiling. after 10 minutes i didnt really notice any bad white spots i may have missed. did i underoil?

Hmm, Probably not, but I have never done this. You should be good since some people just wash the filter with water and slap it back in.

Ya, I have an AEM as well because I dont want to get hassled. But now it seems that the cops dont know shit because they are still sending people to the ref for their AEM intakes. Its a mess.

No, you are good to go. As long as there are no white areas it's fine. I don't think they mean "do each pleat, one at a time."

Yeah, as long as there is no more white, it is good to go.
