shad0wedr18* · 05-02-2008, 07:08 PM

yup i did

powerjdm · 05-02-2008, 07:13 PM

thats the same with mine, but i havent cleaned my filter yet.

***xrs54*** · 05-02-2008, 07:17 PM

did you clean it? or just think about it? (not trying to sound like an ass or anything, just wasn't clear)

if you have, then

if not...

i'd probably do it.

i've completely taken off my intake before and washed/cleaned and polished everything (new filter as well) and sounded like brand new.

just a suggestion

shad0wedr18* · 05-02-2008, 07:20 PM

hmm maybe its the pipe that makes the sound maybe in eed to clean the pipe but then taking out the pipe is a painin the arse.

where on the k&n website can i get a new replacement filter?

***xrs54*** · 05-02-2008, 07:23 PM

^ ahh, i see, i don't own an Si but i'm sure the same will do for an Si and an accord.

it's still an intake

shad0wedr18* · 05-02-2008, 07:31 PM

K&N Universal Round Tapered Cone Air Filters

hmm, since you have an sri, you should never have to replace the firlter, just clean it every 1k miles or so, at leased thats what i've been told
