Evora S Foam Air Filter Lifespan

What is the lifespan of a foam air filter in an Evora S? A foam filter came installed in a CAI that I purchased. I would not normally use that type, but it's what I got. At 4 years old, it began disintegrating and created quite a mess. My next question is: what is recommended to clean the foam fragments from the intake, supercharger and valves?

That one is toast. I would use a vacuum while removing bits and pieces.

Results can vary. Heat is the big killer of foam.

Be sure to use the reply button if you want to get someone alerted otherwise only one alerted is OP . That would depend on brand of CAI and where purchased. If purchased thru GRP I'm sure they would carry a filter for it.

If that's a ITG CAI sold by BOE or GRP then this is probably what you're looking for
