I need help with my Injen cold air intake

I want to clean the filter as it's been almost 2 years since the install. I was able to remove the filter behind the fog light. But what is the best way to clean it?

Thanks in advance.

I've used an air compressor before to blow out from inside to remove the particles. Then I'd look at the Injen site to see what they recommend as a filter cleaner solution.

DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR, you'll damage the filter media.

+1 for looking on Injen's site, or just use the K&N cleaner Kit, it works for almost all cotton media filters.
