Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone has used a home made solution vs the "aem dryflow filter solution".

I've read some stuff stating that warm water with dish detergent will do the trick...

Any insight is greatly appreciated.

 

Try some other cleaners like Simple Green. If it ruins it, buy another filter and let us know.

 

Water is what I've used in the past.

 

I will be trying a quick wash with water and dish detergent tonight to see what will happened. I will keep you guys updated.

 

Just cleaned it today and boy was it dirty. i watched the youtube video that shows the AEM solution being used, I just used water and dish liquid soap.

Note: Drying literally takes more than a day. I checked an hour ago and it still needs about a half day of drying.

 

We have a couple of K&N oiled filters. They take a while to dry and so we rotate them. Clean, dry, oil, dry takes forever. So, put the clean one on and put the other out to dry for a couple of races until it is time to swap them around again.

 

I have work tomorrow and don't know if this ones going to be dry in time. can I just buy a temporary one from pepboys? does it HAVE to be aem?

I have an aem intake

 

No, it doesn't have to be AEM. If you are tuned then your tune is sensitive and s expects to see a certain amount of air. I wouldn't expect differences in filter type to be material but would drive with a somewhat lighter foot until you get the AEM filter back in.

 

It seems to be around 95 percent dried if not fully dried, should I be concerned with hydrolock? (Its been sitting outside for 2 days and 1 night)

 

you should be fine. the other 5% will dry once you start driving...

this reminds me, i need to clean my aem filter too...

 

You're going to need a lot more than just a slightly damp air filter to hydrolock.
