What’s up NPORA, looking for what this part, the insulation / filter material inside the air filter canister, is called, part#, where to order, or what can be used to replace this material in there. I’m fairly confident it’s original from 1992 and according to some research I have done, having it cleaned or replaced before a smog will help with the smog check (California). I did read that it can be cleaned yet I would prefer to replace it or order a replacement if that’s possible. Also I thought about just removing it, cleaning the inside of the canister, and going to smog it but if the smog station looks in the canister and sees it missing that might be a smog fail right there.
Any thoughts on this replacing, cleaning, smogging, or buying a piece of generic material to use in place of this old nasty piece. I appreciate any feedback, thanks!
