Cowl Filters
Do you guys replace it or just wash it?
I haven't heard much about replacing the cowl filters. If you guys replace it where do you get it? Stealership?

Good to know. But since I didn't know about this, kinda stupid of me really, so never thought of this. My car is about 4.5 yrs and I have never replaced it. I honestly just noticed this couple of weekends ago when I was visiting my mom and drove her around. I turned the AC on and bam suddenly she started coughing, my mom is very sensitive and kinda sick too. So this really got me thinking about it.

Definitely replace it Braiski! I replace mine every year. It does get pretty filthy. Some people just blow it out with some compressed air and then put it back in. Up to you what you really want to do with it. Let us know what kind of debris you find in there! Probably not so much, but should still be pretty dusty/dirty.
