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. ![Sad](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_sad.gif)
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!!

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.
