QUOTE (Sick03ss @ Nov 6 2009, 11:56 AM) NEVER EVER use compressed air. Let it dry on its own. That ONLY applies for K&N style (gauze/cotton) filters... I have been drying mine with my compressor for a long time now... No problems what so ever!! Just follow the instruction posted to clean it, they are pretty straight forward

Moving topic....The How 2 section is for posting a detailed description on "How To" perform a function or solve a problem, not asking for assistance on How To do something.
