    Made my tailgate less easy to steal. Cleaned it inside and out. Cleans my maf.

    Need to grab some spark plugs and air filters. Is the secondary air filter replaceable?

    Should never need to be replaced since it's on the "clean" side of the air filter.

    But no, it's not replaceable. It is plastic-welded onto pins in the airbox lid.

    They look dirty when brand new.
    They are filled with activated charcoal.

    If you don't have smog checks, or if your smog inspections are not detailed, just rip the thing out.

    Remove the airbox cover from the engine compartment so no plastic debris gets into the engine, and use a knife or Dremel to cut/grind the nibs that retain it.

    We don't have any sort of smog inspections here... :) Is it more for emissions than air cleaning? My truck is seriously low on torque and power, I need to fix it. No supercharged though

    110%. No air cleaning at all... the air is supposed to be clean by the time it gets there. It is activated charcoal and is there to absorb any fuel/oil vapors that backflow from the intake after shutdown.
    Upon restart, they are drawn back into the intake as they evaporate from the filter.
