Polishing Intake Tube & Filter Choice?

[Cripton805]

I just picked up a Injen SRI.
The tube is pretty scratched and I wanted to polish it.

Any good ideas?
I was thinking wet sanding, but maybe theres an easier way?

Also, I bought it with a Spectre Intake filter.
Does anyone have experience with Zex?

Get an aem dry flow filter. You can clean it with soap and water and don't have to oil it.

I'm considering AEM or Zex because they're the cheapest good quality that I know of. I don't see a point in buying a $50 filter. LMFAO

I'm trying to save as much money as I can with good quality parts to prove a point.

A k&n is definitely not the best if youre trying to be cheap. All of the recharge kits($20) and the filter($50+) will cost an arm and a leg. Look on amazon. They're normally cheaper. The cheap $20 filters still need to be oiled etc.

I dont have a problem with maintenance cleaning, etc... The filter is a 1x buy too.
