How to clean a Roush CAI filter?

[ZBoater]

I ordered a spare to have handy. Mine looks grungy so I'm swapping it for a new one. How do I clean this? These don't look like they use oil or recharge kits, but I could be wrong. Any recommendations?

I looked it up on their site, and they said to use a standard recharge kit, so I bought one from Autozone, and took care of it.

Alrighty then. Oil it is. Picked up a kit on Amazon for $10. We'll see how this turns out. I have a bad feeling about this...

Directly from Roush. Had to order by phone.

Seeing as you have a spare one. Could you measure it up for me. Or tell me what the part number is. I've been looking at putting a Donaldson powercore in there instead. Thanks

Yup, will do. It looks like an AirRaid filter will also fit so I'm also curious to know.

The base is 7 1/2", the inside diameter of the flange is 6" wide, it is 6" tall and the top is 4" wide. I don't understand why it got so dirty with just a couple thousand miles...







The closest Airaid filter is

6 7 1/4 4 3/4 6 700-466 701-466 700-466RD 700-466TD

It's a tight fit already, so I'm not positive this one would fit. It should. But is costs the same as the one with the Roush logo on the top, so the search for a cheap replacement filter for the Roush CAI seems to have hit a dead end...

Thanks, I'll have to look closer at mine. I need to clean it. I plan on putting a pre-filter or "sock" over it to filter out the big shit...bugs. curious if this would fit in it.http://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/vnt-61513/overview/
