Pipercross panel filter clean
« on: March 19, 2022, 04:23:33 pm »
What's the best way to do this?. I've swapped to a standard filter but feel the pipercross made a difference, I know probably in my head.

Cheers chaps.

Cheers for the reply. For some reason I thought when choosing the filter 2 years ago they weren't oiled, a few that arnt do maf friendly. So assumed a wash and air dry would be fine.

Will double check though :)

If it's dry foam, just run warm water through it from the MAF facing side out as to not force grit further into the foam.

Need to clean mine actually, I bought another so I can swap them straight out and have a clean one ready to go.
