Would anyone know where to get a replacement filter for a AEM CAI. Or is there an easy way to clean it? Please let me know!

You should be able to pick up a filter at an local automotive shop such as an autozone, pep boys, etc...
If it uses a K&N filter then they sell "recharger kits" which actually clean the filter so you cna reuse it.

Just to add, they filter better after they get a little dirty. So just because it isn't as bright anymore, doesn't mean it needs to be cleaned. I think K&N recommends cleaning like every 15k or something like that, maybe even less often.
And if you do decide to use a recharger cleaning kit. Don't over apply the oil...it will ruin your MAS sensor.

the K&N filter says every 50K miles (depeding on driving conditions). And yes, the filter might look like it needs more oil, but after you pass over it once with the oil, let it sit for a minute or two and it will spread around. I do 1 quick pass per side to cover, and thats it...dont go crazy.
