Am I being a spanner
« on: July 22, 2015, 08:57:38 pm »
Am I being a right douchebag. Received my evoms intake kit the other day, it came with no instructions kinda irritating but they are fairly straightforward to fit. The thing that's confusing me is how the hell do you clean it. It says in big writing on the front do not oil but it looks oiled to me. With my k and n I used the recharge kit could I use the degreaser with that to clean the filter. How do you clean yours?  :happy2:

I've only had my evoms in for 2k miles so haven't cleaned it as it looks like the day I bought it but a mate of mine uses the k and n stuff he got with his old 57i kit and has no issues

Cheers thanks for the replies. Fitted it today along with a heat shield was a bit of a fiddle. So are we saying that's it's right to oil them even though it says don't oil. Gotta love that evoms sound man it's addictive lol.
