Stillen dual intake

SophiaZ · 01-27-2010, 09:06 PM

This may or may not be a dumb question but either which way..I need an answer. I bought the dual intakes (not gen 3 long tube) and they say it has a 1,000,000 mile warranty. But I'm going on 3,000 miles with it installed and was wondering if it has to get cleaned. I haven't found any replacement filters for it and don't know what to do. If it needs cleaning, how do you do it? Thanks so much!

there is a cleaning kit you need to buy for it. it'll have instructions. as far as when, well when its dirty! usually the average is 15k to 20k, sooner if you live somewhere dirty. you dont have the long tubes, so checking it will be cake.

Thanks, do you know where I can get that?

K & N cleaning kit part number 99-500. (And a hose and some warm water)

its really cheap, and it takes about a day total to dry. i personally prefer the dry-type filter like AEM has. the oil type can be a pain dealing with the excess oil...

How's the 20''s on your car? Did you need spacers/hubcentric rings?!!

not to get off topic, but your username was the one I wanted, but when i entered it, it said it was taken... hence the switch to 6spd

How often do I have to clean the filters? 3k miles?!!

Roughly every 15K-50K.

Depends on what they look like, where/how you drive, etc.

Also, be CAREFUL about how much oil you use on the filters...too much will cause them to clog up your MAF sensors...
