How often should I clean the pre-filter?

Cleaning frequency depends on your driving conditions. Inspect the pre-filter regularly, and clean it when you notice a buildup of dirt or debris. Clean it more often if you frequently drive in dusty or muddy environments.

Can I use soap and water to clean the pre-filter?

Yes, you can use a mild soap and water solution to clean the pre-filter. Rinse it thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before reinstalling. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as they may damage the material.

Does this pre-filter affect the performance of my Ram-Air intake?

The pre-filter is designed to protect your Ram-Air filter without significantly affecting performance. While it may slightly reduce airflow in extremely dirty conditions, the benefits of extended filter life and reduced service intervals outweigh any minor performance impact.
