Hey guys, I have a JLT intake on my car and was wondering how I should clean the air filter. I have had K&N filters before, but what product should I use? Can I use the K&N filter recharge kit? Or do I need to buy the S&B filter stuff? If so where is a good place to get the S&B kit?

Thanks.

K&N kit works great on any reusable filters. Some filters are 1 time use
and trashed (disposable). Ive used the K&N kit for my MAC intake on my 04.
Couldnt be better.

+1 for K+N kit, used it on my JLT setup with no problems. Only thing to note is that the K+N oil is red, so if you don't want a red filter, you might want to source out another brand. I personally don't care, and the K+N kit can be had at autozone for cheap. Just make sure you take your time between steps, rinse well, and let stuff really really dry out. Any water left in won't let the oil bond, and too much oil or oil that hasn't dried well can accumulate on the MAF and cause you problems.
