I have the SLP Cold AIr INduction, and i'm trying to clean the filters, i know there is a kit to clean them but I thought i would just soalk them in water fora while. The only probablem is getting them off the car. I opened the bottom under the bumper and i couldent unscrew the screws because they were too hard to get at. Is there an easier way to get the filters off?

 

yeah i have to same problem, but I have a question... In your signiture it says you have a 200 HP Performance chip, what exactly is that....

 

i have the slp CAI, i had the same problem the first time i went to clean the filters. after you get them off to clean them and are going to put them back on, try to put them on from the bottom, its a tight fit but i found it to be easiest to use a rachet and socket. as far as cleaning them, i use the K&N oil, works perfect.

 

I usually just pull the whole thing out. Seems easier than reaching up, in, and around to get to those little hose clamps.

I clean mine every 10k miles or so since I live on a dirt road (reccomended ~50k) but I've heard that they filter (not flow) better when they're dirty, who knows.

If I ever wear out those dang filters, im gettin some that have a smaller diameter and not cone-shaped. That ought to help the fit a little.

well i have the 3.8L 200 HP engine... and i think i have a performance chip because when i push the car it goes over 6000 RPM's or maby my engine has a problem?

 

When you push a stock auto, its going to go over 5k rpms and a little over 6k sometimes. Its totally normal, and it WILL shift. Not good to do it frequently though. On the other hand, with my nitrous I have to use a window switch because if I let the rpms hit factory settings BOOM!
