which one do you guys think is better. a dry air filter or an oiled. i have heard oiled on such in oil into the throttle body. i was looking at the aem brute force intake. what do you think of this. i know what oiled filter intakes are out there but what other dry filter intakes are out there.

 

s&b is dry check out rpmoutlet.com yea oiled ones tend to gum stuff up once in a while like the sensors

 

ok i think i will go with a dry filter. i dont have acces to order an s&b. what other brands are there that are good besides the aem brute force. how is the brute force.

 

Just get a drop-in K&N filter. They're oiled, recharge kit is $13 from Part Source, needs it once a year i think. The recharge kit will last for probably 3-5 recharges. The filter is around $50-60 for your truck and it has a million mile warranty. You can also get an intake kit from K&N, but it costs a lot more. I have a drop-in K&N and am from Edmonton, and it works great.

 

i want a dry filter. i dont want to have the hastle of cleaning the filter all the time and it gunks up the throttle body. i have a k&n on my quad and my throttle body was just black from the oil.

 

Can you confirm it's a dry filter? According to StylinTrucks.com it's an oiled filter.

You'll get your answers here.

 

As I thought...oiled. AF1 is oiled as well, correct? Could we get a rough list of what's what? AF1, S&B, Banks, AEM Bruteforce, Airaid, Rousch (actually isn't Rousch just Airaid?)...I think that's it for the bigger names.

 

AEM Brute Force Air Intake...Dry-Flow filter...yank it out, hose it off, beat it against your jeans and slap it back it...simple as that.

The only way to go...

 

Actually check here for proper cleaning methods.

Outlaw Performance gives you an option of a dry or oiled filter

 

I just put in an AEM brute force in my 04 FX4. It's AWESOME. The sound it makes is incredible. I haven't taken any pics of it yet, but I love it. Wish I would have done it sooner. Was pretty easy to install. Clean the MAF while you're swapping it to the new filter setup.(with MAF or other electronic cleaner from autozone/advance).

 

great man. it think i will go with this one forsure.

 

There seems to be some misconception about oiled filters, i.e. that they're just soaked in oil, dripping oil.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Oiled means a very, very light coating of oil, nothing that's gonna be sucked into the rest of the intake, nothing that would foul the maf sensor or otherwise "gunk up the throttle body".

Nothing wrong with either "dry" or "oiled", both work well, I just think the idea that some folks have that "oiled" means somehow nasty or fouling is misguided at best and certainly uninformed.

 

i have had the aem cai for a few months now and would never buy anything different. well worth the money.
