i grabbed an intake a bout a year ago.the filter is pretty dirty now. can anyone tell me the best way to clean it out?

 

With a bottle of K&N or AEM filter cleaning solution and filter oil (for regular filters, not the AEM DryFlow).

Search YouTube, they have videos of them doing it.

 

What brand is it? And what is the filter material?

ONLY use the factory cleaning solution for the filter brand. Never soap and water.

 

you can use the k&n cleaner but DONT use the redish pinkish oil if its not a k&n filter. It will actually clog it up faster. I know from experience.

 

idk its called "option racing" i bought it off some guy and since its not k&n or anything ive heard of, im aussuming its an ebay knock off. idk it gets the job done its loud and i can feel a faster rush when i floor it from the stock intake. i just want to clean it to get the maximum power/peformance from it. i just want the best thing for it, that wont mess it all up.

 

I would throw it in the garbage asap.

Junk ebay filters dont do much and let dirt into the engine. I would highly recommend to go get a AEM Dryflow or K&N filter or APC at least.
