cleaning a k&n air filter
 

how long should i let it dry for?? will overnight be good enough?? like 10 hours, it says dont use any other means to dry it or could damage the element, any ideas to "quicken" this process

Usually 24 hrs in door's is good, this why I bought two of the filters so that i wouldn't need to worry about this. Did you recharge them?

Put it over the heat vent in your house or garage

That stupid test is based on this filter being used as an example:

K&N 33-2135

H2's don't use that type of filter, they use the RP-5103:



Big difference!!

If K&N will let the first filter you posted go into production and be used on a diesel, what makes you think that the second filter you posted could, or would be so much better.:beerchug:

Actually the test results are valid because the AC Delco A1618C is the exact same size as the K&N 33-2135.

Just because the H2 uses a larger filter doesn't mean you can ignore the test results, the pass-thru is still valid regardless of the media surface area, and other test values will follow a linear relationship based on filter size.

The stock paper filter design wins hands down in all aspects against any gauze and oil filter.

K&N air filters do a poor job filtering, and poor filters = shorter engine life.
