I've been eyeballing the AFE Pro Dry drop in.

I posted a similar question over in exhaust and intakes. I have a 2012 5.0 with a 63 series K&N intake with the oiled filter, and I have been researching dry filters(Something I should have done before I purchased my intake). I read good things about AEM, AFE and also Airaid. AEM uses 1 single layer of synthetic material where as AFE and Airaid use 2 layers of synthetic material. Airaid seems to have the best warranty from what I read and I called all 3 and talked to each. You can return Airaid filters for any reason include 7.95 for shipping and they will send you a replacement. You dont need a reciept, just the Airaid logo visible on return filter. It is called a No Hassle Warranty.AEM will be the most economic purchase, but Airaid also uses stainless steel to wrap their material with and told me if I didnt like it I could return it at any time. So I chose Airaid today and have one on the way. It will be here next mid-week. I think any of these would be great choices. My filter was 53.90 total from summit racing.

The stock air filter flows more air than the engine pulls, so this is why you won't get any more air with the after market filters.

Think about it this way. Get a milkshake and suck it thru your straw.....see how long it takes to get a mouthful?....this is your stock filter. Definitely flows what it needs to but takes harder sucking to get it thru the straw. Now get a bigger straw(higher flow filter) suck just as hard and see how long it takes to get a mouthful. Or better yet try to see how much less suction it takes to fill up your mouth in the time it took you with the normal straw. I bet you won't have to suck as hard. Picture your mouth being the engine having to struggle more to pull the air thru, the straws are your filter and the milkshake is the air.
