I am looking to get a drop in filter, because it is time to replace the factory one. (20K Miles) What one would you guys recommend? I don't want to get a CAI, because I don't think they are worth the money and I don't want to deal with the lean issue. I do have an Edge and Exhaust.

WOuld my edge automatically adjust to the new drop-in filter? Or would I have to de-program, disconnect battery and then re-hookup everything for the computer to re-adjust?

 

it will re adjust -i'd suggest s&b myself

 

I heard a lot of people praise the AFE dry drop in.

 

Is K&N not as strong as it used to be?
is the AFE oil-less? Has anybody noticed a difference in power after installing a drop-in?

 

AEM Dryflow. I have one, and it's been fine. It's oiless and very easy to clean.

This is the one you want:

I've got the dry AFE and really like it. I won't lie and say I can feel a difference in power, but I know it flows and filters better than stock.

 

think about what u just typed-filters better and flows more-better filter will equal less flow- common sense,i'd say the best alternative to a oem motocraft as far as filetering is the dry permanent type filter offered by Amsoil

 

From AFE's website...

● Improved airflow, filtration, and dust-holding capacity

do an oil and filter change after 3 k miles with oem motorcraft air filter installed and gety oil analysis done-do the same with ure aem and get oil analysis done, then tell me the aem filters better

 

Avoid K&N products. Cheap oiled stuff in my opinion.

I was planning to get the S&B or maybe the AEM.

 

in my 22 yrs of driving-i've practically had a k&n in every vehicle and logged up quite a few miles-never an issue with a clogged/contaminated maf or 1 iota of engine trouble

 

Me too, 70K miles still on the orginial K&N drop in filter. Cleaned and re-oiled it twice. An it looks/feels brand new each time.

 

I'd go with the S&B drop in

that seems like a pretty close minded opinion on the fiters if you only tried one.

 

haha. you always seem to pop in just in time to recommend an s&b product. very persistant. if you have a full CAI system with a dry filter you have won me over. I think I would give it a try.
