I'll buy it if it cost less than $50, otherwise I'll keep throwing away a Wix every year.

A K&N filter without oil hardly filters the airflow-you might as well not use a filter.

A longtime family friend is a rep for Wix. K&N is the joke of the industry as their air filters flow more because they pass more dirt and how much they cost.

All this talk of air filters has me considering trying a Amsoil EaA filter in my DD '03 Blazer.

I have one in my Expedition. I will clean it at the recommended interval, and put it back in. i have a dealer account so there was no reason not too. Have one in the Camaro as well.

I'd buy one if it flowed the same or more than the K&N and filtered better.

Got an email from AEM yesterday.

They're making it. I should have a price shortly.

This. Been running an afe for over a year in my car. I have no interest in an AME that has the same mold as the K&N designed for a jeep, not our airboxes.

Keep in mind, both the Airaid and the afe have an MSRP of 79.99.

I'd imagine AEM to be significantly lower. I also agree they need to address the issue of the housing. It would be nice to not have to use weather stripping to seal the lid.
