haha, yeah he wants the black ones he's seen for his now, so I'll be taking those ones off his hands... they've probably only seen 1k miles use if that... lol
LOL, well, you could do what I do which is not clean it and take it to GDI as Mark loves cleaning my filter!
You need de-greaser and some gloves that wont melt to your hand, and you wash it from the inside to the outside with that then use water to rinse it then let the fooker dry and you're away. I'm going to be getting another one soon as mine's on it's last legs now... it's sucked in bugs, snakes, cats, dogs, mice, pigs and horses over the last 15k I've had it... so has seen better days!
