Injen CAI

Hey guys, quick question if I may,
The Injen CAI, is it a paper filter or wire mesh inside?

And when is it good for cleaning or replacing?

Thanks

^ Better to get mesh surely?
When should u clean the mesh filter then? I was told it would be fine for up to three yrs, correct??

really depends on where you're driving... Injen says something about cleaning it every 15-20k miles, but i clean mine like every 6-7k miles (lots of dust and dirt where i'm driving)

^ hmmm well ive only done just under 22k in total since owning the car from new in 04

and ive had the CAI on the car for 1yr 6months.

Im in London so lots of street driving...
