I have a ?-- how do you clean the Vortech filter? I look at mine today and it is black after only 8k of usage...help a brother out
I'm not familiar with the Vortech filter. If it's a dry filter you'll need to replace it, I'd assume. If it's oiled, you'll need a recharge kit so you can do the wash, dry and reoil. Most any kits (K&N and others) will work. You can even pick what color oil you want.
157db, any chance you have pics of these? It doesn't seem as if an adhesive on the clip would do much to prevent water intrusion. I need to see this to understand it.
haha, i didnt even realize they were in the pic i just got back from a trip to OC MD. only caught a few small spots and rockfish, using bloodworms. Nobody had any real live bait in stock, so catching anything of decent size was prolly out of the question lol still fun though! saw one lady catch a blue that was ok though
Sorry to Hijack, but have you tried using Fish Bite? It's a man-made bait that you do not have to keep on ice. It just stays in your tackle box until you are ready to use it again. I used it the past two weekends on a pier in Va. Beach and caught some Spot as well as Pompanos. Some folks using it caught Flounder.
Back on topic, since I only have 6800 miles on my car, do you guys think I should change the cabin filter now?

IMO, no. But you may want to do it just to see for yourself. It's not a performance item and the filter still passes plenty of air when dirty. But for about $10 or so, it's a cheap DIY. Nobody has reported passing out with the windows up yet.
Yea, the clip closest to the pass side fender is a biatch. The new and improved water leak prevention clips have heat activated sealing glue on them. No more fighting the loosing battle of the clips. Once you install them and heat the adhesive, they are in there for the duration and one less leak point to worry about.
The first step in replacing the cabin air filter should be:
1. Go get the new improved cowl clips from the Stealership.
2. Obtain a new cabin air filter.

Did ya cut open the fuel filter to see the gunk levels or just toss
it in the trash? I would like to see some pics of fuel filter internals
with various amounts of mileage on them.
I cut open my oil filters to observe just what they trap
and how my MAGFILTER is working to trap magnetic particals.
The filter never has seemed too awful dirty.
Not entirely true. I bought and installed the new glue clips and thought my leak was a thing of the past until my SJB filled with water. After an hour of looking for the new leak I re checked the clips and found two were leaking. And they all required very little pressure to remove.
The best fix I found is to remove the foam seal and glue the clips in place with "Automotive Goop". It's messy and difficult to work with because it dries quickly but it does work.
BTW, I have pictures of the clips installed and part numbers for the new clips that I can post later. But I would not recommend them.
