Oh yeah ... Jason brings up a good point... Don't use a hair drier to dry the filters! K&N or AEM... On all my K&N reusable filters, I would let them sun dry or if the sun wasn't present, I would just sit them on the washer and drier in the garage and let them dry on their own. Don't even use compressed air as it can damage the pleats.
If someone can come up with a dishwater safe filter, that would be cool... :^) Robert K.
