ben running K&N for over 5 years and never had a problem with TB's and IAC's and i don't clean em every 5,000km either. maybe once every 12 to 18 months.

was thinking of re-designing the breathing system through a catch can so not as much oil works it's way into the TB but thats another post all together i think. yep, thats the next project i think

Fitted Lukey filter so we'll see how it goes, looks to be of a high quality. Only 2 days till I get my license back!

They are made of a polyester fiber so you just shake them out or blow them out with a compressor every now and then, and every 6 months you just rinse them with plain water.

I paid $45 from a seller on ebay, but I think they retail for around the $65-70 mark.
