Cleaned my intake filter the other day and noticed that the rubber boot of the filter was gummy and starting to crumble. It also has real faint cracks that look like a tire that has dry rot. It is approx. 2 1/2 years old. Anyone else ever have this problem? Thanks

 

i dont have that air filter but the same thing happens... i put tire shine stuff on it... then let its sit n dry... (brought the shine back) then whipped off the greaseness and took a silicon. ( dont remember what) and put a thin coat on it

 

lol sounds like a tried and proved redneck method. i like it.

 

wow my cheap ebay intake is 3 years old and it sounds like my cheapo is holding up better then ur name brand AF1... and i have the texas heat to deal with u dont.....

 

honestly, dont they make replacement filters? or do they have an outrageous price for them or something? id figure if it got too bad id buy a new one and burn the old one for fun.

 

does it have the million mile warranty like a k&n?

 

Not sure about the warrenty. I e-mailed the company, I'll let you know what I find out. I was just curious if I was the only one with this problem. Thanks guys
