From my understanding, you do not have to clean the Stillen G3 CAI filters. Hence, no need to remove the bumper again.

I'm not sure where u heard or read this, but these filters do require cleaning....K&N recommends cleaning the filters every 50K miles....

I read it somewhere on this forum, on a number of posts regarding Stillen Gen. 3 CAI. I'll see if I can dig it up when I have more time.

I'm not sure what thread you're talking about.....but it really makes no sense for the filters not to be cleaned....even the stock filters which are covered in an airbox require replacement and cleaning at the very minimum....Just like all filters....

Here are some threads that clearly refer to the filters needing to be cleaned.

Cleaning stillen G3 cai

Oiling the filter on stillen gen 3 intake?

Request who this said person is and proof so we can take that post down as to never have this conversation again.
