lightly soaped water, and rinse it ALOT. and let it dry totally before re-assembly
you might try some kind of residue free cleaner like brake cleaner or something..

I haven't had to clean my Apexi yet, but I just figured on cleaning the way I've used on other similar filters before.
Fill a bucket with warm water, add about 2 tsp of baby shampoo, submerge the filter and let it soak for a minute, then tap it againt the bottom of the bucket to knock free any trapped air and now let it sit for about 5 minutes.
After it's had time to soak, I grab the filter and while holding under the water quickly spin it back and forth (like a one hand steering wheel
). Bang it on the sides of the bucket occasionally to kick loos any trapped dirt.
Then just rinse it off VERY well and let it dry.
In alot of cases it's overkill though. But it's always worked great for me.

Where the f can you get an apexi filter for 40 bucks, give me the hook up Joe! I spent $140 on mine!
yeah, 140 for the whole thing is normal. im talking about just the replacement filter itself. not the filter and AFM adapter.

ok, so i was off a bit. its 75 bucks. but still. youd probably only replace it once ever.

Actually HKS is the worst.
apexi filters are the best hands down flow and not lettign dirt in
as for cleaning i was told never to soak it or any thing since then it wil not flow as much after words
k&N are over rated oil based filter are messy bad for afms ect cause of the oil resdo
they do flow but dry based filter for mee
i just wish apexi made 4 inc filter

I'll probably pick one up once I have some spare change, I have a K&N but really only because it came with my old car :dunno:

How so? Sure it won't flow at all while it's wet, but once it's dry it should be fine. I could imagine the flow getting bad if you went and threw it in your clothes dryer afterward, lint and the fuz effect.
