Cleaning dual cone intakes - question
Hi all,
So I got my DCIs off the car, and I have some K&N oil/aerosol here. Just wanted to double-check before I screw anything up - is it really legit to let water run over these from inside to get the grease off, and spray them with the aerosol cleaner from inside? I want to make sure I don't get any weirdness into my turbos, so want to do it properly. Thanks! -pN

Gotcha, thanks.
Curious.. are the Vishnu ones normally oiled? And if not... is oiling them a bad idea?

oiling is always a plus it helps catch dirt better. Just get pretty heavy with the degreaser and let it dry as much as you can and then oil it (if you want)
