How to clean Hi-Flow Intake Cone???
I just took my Stillen Hi-Flow Intake out because it looked kind of dirty and the sound it was producing wasn't as loud as when i first had it.
How would you go about cleaning this cone filter??

Preparing --- Gently tap the filter to remove excess embedded dirt. Gently brush the remaining excess dirt from the element with a soft brush
Soaking --- Using aFe restore cleaner, spray the element thoroughly soaking the cotton media. Let it soak for approximately 10 minutes. For large elements, or where a quantity of filters are to be cleaned, put an inch or more of cleaner in a pan and roll the filter in the pan thoroughly soaking the element. Again let it soak for approximately 10 minutes.
Rinsing off --- Using low pressure from a tap or a hose, run water from the clean side to the dirty side until the water running through the element comes through clear. DO NOT USE HIGH PRESSURE or a nozzle that sprays a sharp stream.
Drying --- It is best to let the filter dry naturally. It is OK to lay the filter in front of a fan to speed drying. Do not use heat or high pressure air as it can cause media damage.
Oiling --- Using aFe special formula aerosol air filter oil, spray a wide band of oil. Let it set 20 minutes and it will wick throughout the element. If light spots appear spot touch those areas.
Note --- Sunlight deteriorates the oil. If the filter is exposed to sunlight for extended periods of time it will be necessary to re-oil the filter.
