Default About the A&A supercharger filter

Is the a&a air filter that comes with the supercharger kit washable?

They are on the c5 and c6 so I don't see why the c7 wouldn't be.

The guy's doing my A&A install are going to attempt to leverage the preexisting aFE CAI airbox and filter (which is washable)...they are advising the aFE is larger and will provide better performance then the filter included in the S/C kit.

Havent done a comparison of the two...guess either would be ok.

The ducting which runs from the airbox to the blower inlet is optimized for the stock airbox. - its only when you change that out for another CAI that your likely to encounter challenges. Since the Airraid fits in the stock airbox you should be ok either way.

The aFE air box has a different geometry and will not mate directly to the A&A ducting so an adaptor will have to be produced by the shop.

Yes it is! I keep an extra clean one on the shelf. Then I'll install a clean one at each oil change.
