how do you clean a sri?

 

if you have k&n i know theirs recharger spray kit you can buy.

 

if it's anything else you can just get a new filter, they are what? 20 bucks?

 

k&n filters are not 20 bucks..haha. the cleaner kit shouldnt be much and k&n has a lifetime warranty. but ya you can always get a cheap filter for like 20 bucks prolly apc or something.

 

No, you're mixing ideas.

If you have K&N - spend $10-20 (I forget) and get the recharge kit.
If you have a cheapo filter - spend $20 and get a whole new filter.

If you have the RRM kit, RRM also sells replacement filters for it.

 

how long can we run on the rrm filter untill we have to change it out?

 

^Depends on the climate you drive it in. I've had my RMR intake since 30k miles? and have used the K&N filter recharger kit twice on it. I'm @ 85k miles now...

 

You're going to hate me for saying this, but the honest answer - until it gets dirty. That can depend on how dusty your area is, how much crap your intake sucks in, etc. There's no hard answer. A new, clean filter will ALWAYS suck better than an old, dirty one.

 

i mean thats the simple answer lol i guess i gotta keep checking my filter every 2 monthish lol

 

I find it's easiest to just set a mile marker for yourself. Pick an amount of miles that's reasonable (for both cleanliness AND your wallet) and change the filter on that mark.

Also, don't forget to move the filter every so often. Usually more air is pulled through one area, so it's good to flip the filter so that a different area is being used. An example is the stock airbox - it's good to flip the panel filter from time to time.

 

thats good.... the rotating the filter is something i havn't thought about..... what is the recommended mileage/month to change ur filter? like doesn't the manufacture of the filters say how long till you change it??

 

Usually around 15k miles is normal.

 

What he said. 15k is pretty much a standard timeframe for the average paper filter. It's also a good cleaning time for the reuseable filters (like K&N).

 

i read somewhere that you can take it out and spray it with the hose haha guess that's not a good idea.(btw I have RRM SRI)

 

Depends on the filter. I think RRM's might be the hose-it-down kind.
