Do your car a favor - Change your airfilters!

After 2k with my KN's I almost removed a tea spoon of debris...
P.s. Modshack's "fang vent" doesn't help the keep the engine bay clean either!

Yeah, I cleaned mine yesterday after putting 14K on the car.....and it did make a difference in performance/responsiveness. The filters were a bit dirty and had a few helicopters (those flat 2-3 inch long things that fall from trees and look like helicopters as they're falling) in the filter fins, which required fishing out. There was also a big leaf in the left intake duct.

At least look at them at every oil change. Most time I clean them, but it depends on the driving that I did. It makes me feel like I just spend $500 bucks on a new intake.
