DryFlow / Amsoil filters??
DryFlow / Amsoil filters?? Hi,
I still use my paper filter, as I have read about some who cleaned their K&N cotton filters, and had problems.
I hear the new filters from DryFlow and Amsoil are better than paper, without the cleaning hastles / hazzards of cotton filters.
My question after seeing one is, do they filter enough, as I imagin some finer dirt/dust will still get through??
What do you guys think??

First off, last time I checked AEM did NOT make a Dry Flow panel filter for our cars with a stock/lid setup. I doubt they ever will since the cars are dead for 6 years now. 
You might be able to find a cone style Dry Flow to fit/work on a FIPK or Volant setup.
I have been using an Amsoil/Donaldson panel filter (EaA83) for the last 2 years or so and it most definitely DOES filter better than ANY of the oiled, cotton gauze deals!!
I'm not sure if it out filters Wix/NAPA Gold paper filters or not.
I have a Wix Gold in there now so I'll find out.
BTW; the Amsoil was dumped ONLY because it got soaked, and it's dirt filtering density may have been the only thing that saved my engine from being hydrolocked!!

Same here, using the EaA and I'm not looking back. Don't waste your money on the AEM filter, they don't filter worth a crap. Oiled cotton gauze.....well you already know they suck also!

I had an AEM Dri-Flo when I had a STS turbo on the car. Great filter. Flows like a **** and the turbine compressor blades were always clean and dirt free.
