how do you clean or service air-filters not in engine bay?
ok lots of people have the filter positioned outside the engine bay under the bumper.
I have a HKS mushroom under the bumper but due to my intercooler I have to remove my bumper to service it.
I'm wondering what everyone is doing to service their filters?
I was thinking about changing to a smaller K&N filter that may allow me to drop the filter out the front or pull it back through the engine bay to clean it. if you are doing this what filter are your using?

Always remember: Things take as long as you want them to. If you believe that removing the bumper is a great ordeal and will take "a lot of effort" then it will.
If you realize that it truly is a 10 minute job then this situation is easily remedied

what makes you think i didn't consider this? however sometimes your limited and forced to do things you would not otherwise consider due to cramming a SC under your hood.
still the removal of my bumper is restricted by the headlight washer line and I always tend to forget the fog light connectors. also the plastic mounting points are wearing with the removal frequency. Most of the removal is intercooler and piping development. once it is sorted the filter only needs to be looked at every 6 months or so.
the question was really aimed to see if there was another solution out there. if you think it isn't an issue then that's ok, but if there was a suitable filter size that can be pulled back though to the engine bay then that would be much better IMO.
I was considering a little KNRU 2510 but the filter area is very small and still wouldn't pass through the hole in the front.

Damn, after putting a Supercharger in your car and your mad you have to take off the front bumper to clean a air-filter? Hell man id be happy to take off the front bumper after installing a SC, jeeze lol a SC sounds complicated to install compared to a few screws and bolts to remove the front bumper.
