AEM Performance DryFlow Air Filters. I need to replace the air filter in my Cold Air Inductions intake and came across this filter. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!!

what year monte/motor are you using it on, why not just replace it with a CAI filter?

 

We have one on our Solstice GXP. Never had a problem with it, and it's a MUCH cleaner filter than the K&N, IMO. Don't just stuff it on the end of your throttle body, cuz you'll suck in so much hot air it'll probably actually run worse than before. Build a CAI or a fenderwell intake if you get one. Search the past threads. There are a TON of GOOD threads on these.

 

AEM is good filter. i'm gonna switch to that in spring time. they suppose to be better than the reoil K & A filter cuz sometime the oil from the filter will dirty up the maf sensor and cause misfire. happened to me. go with bigger filter than the one in the pic. i think they make 9" one.

 

I had an AEM intake on my Cavalier, and it had one of these dryflow filters. It worked great, I never had a problems with it. I actually liked the fact that it did not have to be oiled. And as others have mentioned, it won't harm your MAF.

 

I'm thoroughly confused for this topic.

You have a CAI intake correct? Usually you just clean (recharge) the filter that you have and that's it.

Or did you want to replace it in entirety?

 

Yes, I have a Cold Air Inductions intake that currently uses an oiled re-usable cone filter. I want to replace it with one of these non-oiled filters since I seem to over-oil the filter and the oil drips and makes a mess inside the intake. These non-oiled filters also look easier to clean in general.

i was checking out filters also, i just bought a CAI, check summit racing they sell AEM filters there and i to would be better off without having to do the oil part! i usually over-do everything, so i would most likely go with the AEM filter in the long run!!

 

The oiled filters do work just fine, you just CANNOT over oil them. If you over oil it, a mess is the least of your worries, you will eventually ruin you MAF.

The key to oiling the filter is to apply very light coats, if the entire filter is not covered, let it sit for a while, chances are, the oil will wick itself into all area's of the filter, covering the whole thing. If after it sits you still have white area, then just LIGHTLY spray that area just enough to cover it.

If the whole oiling this is just to much hassle for you, then I would recommend the AEM dryflow filter, because then all you have to worry about is washing and drying.

 

Gotcha Gotcha

I've stuck with my K&N filter, can't be much help. But I would say just make sure the size is good, don't want too small of a filter.
