Default Cleaning My Stinger Filter

Was checking the oil yesterday and noticed my Halltech Stinger air filter looked pretty dirty. Took it off and simple greened, dried, oiled, and put it back on.

What a difference today! Noticably better throttle response and a deeper exhaust sound. Gonna have to keep it cleaner from now on. Reminds me of why no one should be running their stock air box. Zip-tie should be the mandatory minimum base mod.

Regards.

I've had mine on about a year and a half. This is the second time I've cleaned it. However, I have cut out the fog light surrounds and I drive it every weekday about 40 miles round trip, so I don't expect it to stay clean for long. I think the basic recommendation is to clean it every 10,000 miles. I probably have cleaned mine every 8000 or so. And, I probably should start doing it every 5000 from now on.

I plan on taking mine off for the inevitable smog check and will clean it thoroughly then. So far, it still looks clean.
