How u do it?
I've got my old cleaning kit from my pipercoss foam filter on axgt.
Same way to clean..
HAs retention oil and cleaning lotion in kit..
Instructions on that said to run under water from inside out to get rid of dirt then spray cleaner on it...Gently massage cleaner into filter.
Leave to dry then oil it up...
Same way?
Think it will take ages to dry like..

is the filter gonna get dirty enough to cause a restriction?
I've got a pipercorss foam airfilter good for 450BHP or something silly, mean it would have to be 70%+ clogged to casue a airflow problem. and can an airfilter get that dirty?

Where you put your filter for it to get covered in poo like that. Only problems is blocking off bits of the filter. dry it out and get rid of the muck
Mav be along time before my engine covers 50K, like a decade!!

You could just use an air line to blow most of the dust and dirt out - be careful around the seam on the foam though as you don't want to blow the filter apart!
