LS4 Performance - AEM Dry Flow w/ K&N intake

I am going to get a dry flow filter for my K&N intake - what size should I get? 3 or 4 inch inlet?

Fill me in...what is a dry flow filter??

Oil less?

Oil less?

Yes no oil. I should have time tonight to take my filter off and measure it.

Just a giant cone filter?

Yes that should eliminate any maf issue, since there is no oil. The only thing I am change is the filter.

Are they proven to work as well/better? I'd be all for not having to oil that damn thing. No matter how much i use i end up cleaning the MAF for weeks afterwards.

I have heard only good things about them.

they still require a 15-20 dollar maintenance kit every 30k miles or so

Right they have to be washed. That won't mess with the maf though.

what kinds of problems are you guys having? Throwing a maf code?

no when re-oiling the filter you run a good chance of the MAF getting dirty - then you have to clean it.

I inhereted a Stainless steel mesh Air filter a while back... I really coundle find any info on it, maybe somone could enlighten me.

When the MAF is fouled, the air-reading is skewed and you get a hesitation or stutter in acceleration when the ECM is trying to combine air and fuel in wrong quantities.

Thanks!... They really got the woven stainless steel to hold dirt particles so small?

according to that site they did...but I have never heard of it...!!!

It is a site from the UK so I don't know if they sell stuff over here....be careful.

what I have always done with my K&N intakes has been buy 2 9" cones. Use the brand new one for spring/summer and when Fall/winter comes, I would take out the first one, put in the new one and then clean the first one and let it sit for 3-4 months untill Spring came around. This way even if I did put alittle too much oil on the filter, i would be dry enough by the time I put it back on.

In 7 years with K&N filters, Ive never once had to clean my MAF sensor.

that is a good idea TAZ,

I am thinking of getting the AEM one though...if i do...anyone want to buy an extra K&N filter?
