I'm gunna switch to it when my NAPA 2790 BHAF clogs up too much. . .get the one with the 6 inch opening and make a solid aluminum intake to realy make the turbo sing

I like it since it is reusable and needs no oil.

The "re-useable" part has me a bit nervous.

They don't want you to clean it with anything other than compressed air. No soap, no water, just air.How the heck is that gonna get it totally clean?

Drew...does the BHAF make much of a difference? I was thinking of switching to one since my stock air box decided to crack on me this weekend.

Ive gone 2x as long on my BHAF as I did on the stock filters and it still looks better than the stock filters ever did. there is A LOT less restriction from the BHAF.

Donnie, the idea of useing the compressed air is to spray from the inside-out. this will push the particles out of the pleats. it works surprizingly well. infact the military uses re-useable filters in the M1 Abrams. every so often get some shop air and blow them out and your good to go

I guessI just don't understand how you can totally clean something without using soap and water. It just doesn't make sense to me ....

Caution, DON'T try this with a filter that is not designed to be cleaned in this manner. You will likely blow a small hole in the filter material and allow dirt in!

It wont get commpletely clean mayfair. But neither do the AFE or K&N filters. As long as it flow air, it good.

I picked one up about two months ago and think it is great. However I have not cleaned it yet. I went with the 4510 and with a coupler it went right on the end of my stock hose. It really makes the turbo loud, it sounds awesome.I tried a BHAF from my buddy and the nanofiber is 15-20% louder. I let you know in the future if it was worth the $$$.
