I use an Airaid drop in oiled filter with decent results. I get a minimal amount of economy (pre-Edge) around 0.5 mpg. I did not expect that, and still do not believe it really. The one thing that I did notice was the pick-up on the throttle. It really seemed to provide a little better response than with stock filters. I even threw the paper filter back in to feel the difference...and I still believe that. I have run oiled filters before and never had an issue with oil getting on the MAF sensor. I just like the savings over the long haul with these filters.

 

Ford_Polaris, you are overpaying. You can get a Napa Gold (made by Wix) for $13. It's just as good as the MC.

 

did you see an improvment with the edge?

 

True, but then Id be supporting Michael Waltrip Racing. No thanks!!!

 

X3.

It's easy to clean, and it dries fast too. I hate oiled filters.

 

I've had mine since nov of 06 except for a little dust on it it looks brand new! I did notice a little mpg inprovement when I went to Savannah GA for thanksging of that year -didnt notice it as much on the trip home b/c its all uphill!!!

 

So it does not cost anything for 100k miles, huh? What about all the time and money cleaning and oiling it. Just adding a bit of reality to the post.

 

am I missing something here?Could have sworn that my K&N came with the 1,000,000 mile warranty not the 100k mile warranty

 

They started making them in China.

 

and then?????the website still says 1million mile warranty.

 

Where is the best place to buy the AEM dryflow?

 

I got mine from eBay.

 

I ordered an AEM Dryflow for mine yesterday and it should be here today. It was $34.99 from Jeg's.

Oiled filters do not filter very well either. For example, the AEM Dryflow will filter over 99% of particles 1 micron or larger, while an oiled filter element will filter 94-96% of particles 2.5 microns or larger.

If you live in a dusty area you can see the dust inside your intake tube when you remove an oiled filter. <-- No Thanks.

 

They still have 1,000,000 mile warranty.
advertised 100,000 miles between cleaning intervals. (clean them way more often though)

Ran either drop in or FIPK for 10 years now in several vehicles. In complete honesty zero problems with any of them. If it ain't broke....

 

I used search and even used Google on the whole site and didn't come up with a direct answer:

Is there an AEM DryFlow replacement for the S&B CAI filter? Can I run the S&B box+tube with a dry filter?

Thanks!
