Default Stillen Gen3 Intake, Engine Wash Safe..??

Hi guys,

I was thinking about giving my Z a good engine wash. I have the Stillen G3's installed..

Any special considerations I should take in or is it safe to wash it as you would normally do?

Thanks in advance for any input provided!

What do you mean engine wash? Tell me that you are not going to take a garden hose and spray your engine compartment! Just get it steam cleaned if you have the resources around you. Worse case scenario, I would put plastic bags over the filters while you do the job...
