Fujita Intake + Dry Flow Filters - Wash or Replace?

[Sparcas]

Just curious if anyone bothers washing their air filters, or just replaces them.

I bought the Fujita F5, washed it twice, and bought the AEM(Which i assume is washable). Should I even bother cleaning it, or should i just buy a new filter once / year?

Definitely reuse! Waste of money to get a new one every year when you are paying for a reusable one.

+1 Every year is way too often... I don't even clean it every year...

Why waste $65 every time you need to clean the filter?
Also, you should be washing it at least once or twice a year. I would recommend purchasing a second one, that way you can just swap out the dirty one and clean it at your leisure and still be able to use your car (they can take 1-3 days to dry depending on how / where it's left to dry).

Yah serious.. u can go buy the cheappie filters for like $20 bucks at pacific mall but if you have a reusable one its worth buying the cleaning kit and reusing it!!!

^ Yup, just make sure you don't get the wrong cleaner. You don't need the cleaning solution that comes with the oil.

LoL - Lot's of opinions!

Yup - I don't need the oil kit cause it's a dry flow filter, was just curious if anyone noticed integrity loss after washing the AEM DRY FLOW.

Personally, I just replace mine (50$) yearly.
