Dude, buy a real filter. There's no excuse for using a sock as an air filter.

it wont destroy the spree, the most you would be doing is sucking in some lint. Possible causing a carb clean. But a sock will not filter well at all. It is a good idea to just buy a new one. They are about the same price as a pair of hanes.

With socks there is that possibility of sucking some lint into the carb. I would suggest getting a lint shaver to get all that lint off of the side that is facing in. lol
