Possible to Clean VRP Air Filters?
I've had the VRP CF airbox for a while, and was wondering if the air filters that came with it are washable. I suppose it would have been best to email Vadim or Victor, but thought maybe other people have wondered the same.

The air filters in CF air boxes are foam. They can cleaned the same way as K&Ns.

Yes you will need to oil them, because oil is the agent that traps the microscopic dirt particles. Just buy the k&n filter cleaning kit and follow the instructions.
