As long as the wet oil type filters have oil on them, they filter out fine. Stick with a brand name though, like K&N.

**I just happen'd to use an OBX Cold Air Induction Intake System part #127-1601-1
Air Filter is by them also and is made for wet weather also, i think my gain is around 7 to 13 H.P. with their unit..**

Hey guys, sry to kinda jack the thread but I was wondering where I can buy the filter cleaning kit for an AEM Dryflow filter? Thanks:)
There is a specific cleaning formula from AEM for this filter.......I have one too. They warn against using anything else but that may be crappola, I didn't want to chance it myself. It's shown on the video link above that marbro provided. I got mine from Sam@missionspeed.

That guy's mechanic is right about aftermarket air filters.

take a look at all of those charts particularly the ones that how much dirt was allowed to pass through the filter...

Some indeed do allow more dirt to enter but the REAL test is having your oil analyzed. High silicon levels are a sure sign of too much dirt passing through although other things could also cause it. I have seen oil analysis' with K&N cone filters that had LOWER silicon levels than with the OEM paper ones. There are too many variables for a blanket statement that "all aftermarket filters let more dirt through". That just isn't so.

The reason I posted that test was it was controlled so that other factors such as vaccum leaks, etc are not taken into consideration. Some people live in areas where there is a lot more dirt than others, etc too many variables.. if an OEM filter is not properly installed, it is quite possible for the oil to be dirty...
