I need suggestions on how I can clean the air filter on my AEM intake. It is behind the front bumper, so I am not sure how I am supposed to get it out to clean it.

Take the filter off of the tubing and clean it? It's pretty easy...

G Rover

Yes, I know that. But its behind the bumber. How do I get it out?

You can take off the top plastic cover and reach in to detach the cone. You just have to do those little fasteners (about 7 of them I think) on the cover, and have long arms to reach the filter with a screw driver. That's how I do mine anyway.

I didnt realize I could take that off. Thanks

is there even room to take it out? i say loosen it through there and then open up from the plastic undertray and pull it out.

I havent tried yet to see if there is enough room. But I thought about removing the plastic part underneath. Ill have to try both ways.

How often should you clean the filter?

As a general rule I think about every 10k miles
