Process of Cleaning my Air Filter...?
Here it is, when it was cleaned and oil:
now, it's really really dirty, I don't even wanna attach a pic, its that bad. I think im loosing some power/fuel economy aswell. So how do I go about this? I don't wanna use water incase there is some left and BOOM, my engine goes bye bye... is there another process?

its all about the k&n easy to find jsut about any autp parts store will sell it. all you need is the cleaner and the oil to I guess pretect it. if you take car of these filters right they are supposed to last 100,000 they say.
but if they aren't reusible. that sucks and just get a diff companies filter

if it's a reusable filter, go to pep boys and get the cleaning/reoiling k&n kit. that's all you need. if it's not reusable, i wouldn't do it, 'cause the reusable ones are very porous and the oil is what traps the dirt, not the filter itself. as far as the hks...get a k&n. hks is worthless in my opinion.
