AEM or K&N
Time for a new filter on my intake because the old one is really dirty and nasty. So Im looking at the AEM filters that come with their intakes, and a K&N. Is one better than the other? I know K&N has the million mile warranty and can be reused over and over. But the AEM is alot cheaper. Any thoughts?

I say get one that filters well. I am very unhappy with the level of filtration provided by the Fujita air filter. There is a layer of dirt on everything in the intake tract.
Since you have a MAF an oilless filter will be a better choice, the AMSOIL filter is oilless and supposedly does a good job at actually filtering.

Get one that doesn't use oil. Doesn't matter which brand.
+100... replaced my K&N oiled thing with an AEM Dryflow.. No oil, ftw!
If K&N makes a dry filter I would think it would match the one I have, but I was able to get the AEM at the local store instead of ordering it online.
