when do I have to replace racingbeat intake k&n filter?
they claim that it needs to be cleaned at around 50,000 miles...
It's been only 10,000 miles since I installed the racing beat's intake system (REVi)
Is it safe to replace the filter now?
or it really does not affect my car's performance until it reaches to 50,000 miles?

Thanks

You don't replace it, you take it out and clean it. I did it once a year during a winter weekend day ( in the garage).

Autozone sells the K&N Recharge Kit.

It's a forever filter, that's why it's expensive. Just clean it and put it back. I have a drop-in k & n filter and all i do is clean it if it gets dirty and i just put it back again.
