This is my first car that I decided to put a CAI and I went with the stillen. There are little gains but wat I have noticed is that sometimes the car feels very heavy and also I have noticed the filter looks like it's dirty but I only put it in may and I really use the car that much any one knows how to clean it any DIY intructions?

 

Buy the Hydroshield from Injen

 

Ok but how can I clean it since it looks dirty?

 

Auto Zone sells the cleaning kit. Wash filter, apply oil evenly and you're done.

 

Ok would u recommend me keeping the intake on or should I just put the factory intake back

 

Isnt the stillen a short ram and not a cold air?and why use that water sock when its a short ram? I would use the bypass valve before that if.its a true CAI like the injen i think i seen for the 7th gen.
I also thought the stillen uses the venturi tube added to the stock duct?

 

It is a short ram, however, if it has the heat shield it is considered CAI. Just like this one. I use the hydroshield from dirt not water.

 

Which by pass valve are u referring to I am new at this so I really dnt know much and what is the venturi tube use for??
