So, correct me if I'm wrong, but is the only difference between a dryflow filter and a non-dryflow filter that the dryflow doesn't need to be oiled? Are there any benifits of having one over the other? I'm replacing my sri with a cai so a dryflow sounds more appealing as I won't have to always oil EVER. Thanks for your input!!

 

yes, that's exactly it. however, both still have to be washed using AEM's "special" solution

 

How often should you wash the dry filters? Such as the v2 filter.

 

It says every 10,000 miles, but it depends on your climate.

Edit* This is what AEM's website says.





Q:
How often should I clean the DRYFLOW filter?

A:
Frequency of cleaning for your DRYFLOW filter will depend on the conditions in which you drive. As a rule, we recommend that you clean your filter a minimum of every 30,000 miles, inspect it during oil changes and regular service intervals, and clean it if it appears to be reaching its dust holding capacity. If you live in particularly arid, dusty climates or venture off road, we recommend cleaning the filter every 3-5,000 miles. Keep in mind that a clean air filter can increase fuel economy as much as 10% compared to a dirty air filter, and service time for the DRYFLOW filter is only approximately one hour, so you can accomplish it in about the time it takes to change your oil.

listen up. you don't have to buy AEM dryflow filter either.

APEXi makes a comparible dry filter too.

I'll probably buy one when I need to replace my existing filter. it's filtration properties is top notch:
