j/w but is the cone filter that comes wit the intake cleanable, like can i spray it down wit my hose?

 

I bought a cleaning kit for my AEM and the instructions said to submerge the filter in hot water (with their cleaning solution in it) up to the opening, making sure that you don't get any water in the middle. Then you repeat until the final water container is clean after dunking the filter. Something similar would probably work in your case. You just need to be careful that you don't get any debris on the inside of your filter.
