i think it was HOHN, but he said that they should last 50,000 or 60,000 miles. all depending on your driving conditions of course.

Dont change it just because it "looks" dirty. Mine "looked" dirty within the first 5,000 miles. Dosnt mean its clogged....

A filterminder is the best way to tell but it will last a lot longer if you use the Outerwears cover to keep the chunks out.

I ran both of mine 50,000 miles, and could have gone more.

Cut a hole in the intake tube and jam it in there. They are grommet mounted.
