Oiled vs dry

[joonkim92]

So I plan on getting an airraid intake but they offer an oiled and dry version. What's the difference and is there any power difference?

Oiled uses a thinner gauze material and rely on the oil to filtrate micro contaminates.
Dry uses a slightly thicker material and relies on the thickness to stop dirt.
Both are good, oil flows a little better.
I prefer dry. Don't want to add any more oil to the intake.

I'm sure others will chime in with their thoughts and experience.

Oil acts as an adhesive and for certain containment's it can be hard to clean out of the fibers. I have had problems with heavy pollen seasons and oil filters. Dry is better suited for higher mileage use and easy to clean with air. The stock filter will provide the best filtration in heavy contaminated environments.
