Air Filters

Hi.

First let me say - I drive a 1999 C5 6-speed - but I'm absolutely no
mechanic.

Q. Does anyone know anything about the SLP (Donaldson) Blackwing Corvette
Air Intake System ? I thought I had a K&N air filter, until I realised I
the filter was connected to an OEM part (rather than the K&N hose). Then I
looked a little closer & figured out it was this SLP (very expensive
$250+) filter.

So, the car's done 70,000 in 7 years (I did the last 20,000) of that. I'm
figuring the filter is well over due for cleaning. I had a 60,000 service
& was told that they couldn't clean a K&N (sic) filter.

What's SOP for when & how to clean. Does anyone do any kits or anything ?
