Re: Air Filter Shootout Test - Results!

Since I've now had my Perrin air filter for over a year and ~18k miles I decided I would take the time this morning to clean it. It definitely had accumulated quite a bit of dirt, bugs, and sand over the year. I used the UNI foam air filter cleaning kit and it cleaned very easily; just one application of cleaner and then rinsed it out with my hose. I'm still waiting for it to dry, but once it does I'll give it a nice light coating of UNI filter oil and reinstall it.

I also took the time to clean the MAF with some MAF cleaner spray just to see how good of a job the Perrin filter was doing. I put the MAF down on some white paper towels and started spraying; the paper towels remained white with no black residue what so ever! There was also zero oil residue on the inside of the MAF so that myth can be put to rest. For comparison, I used this same method after 13k miles with a Vibrant air filter and the paper towels were black and nasty with a very fine grittiness to it.
