K&N or AFE?

ok so i been hearing quite a bit about AFE pro dry air filter. now i'm not looking a which i want to have i'm just wondering what yall think is better and why

 

I don't have any of these, but I'm leaning towards the AF-E pro dry because the other ones you have to deal with oiling it every time you clean it and it is the same cost as the K&N with the oil kit.

 

The K&N are no fun to oil, same with the Airaid. The AFE looks like a good better setup for the cost.

 

I've got the k&n, I'd agree that oiling the filter is a pain.

 

so when cleaning the AFE what exactly do you have to do? like i'm jw so i know but i have the K&N 77 air intake

 

i think the votes speak for themselvs

 

to clean the AFE you get a bucket of water and some cleaning solution and just dunk and swirl

 

wow that easy? well seems easier to clean but you know performance wis?

 

afe is oil-less so you'll never have to worry about oil gettin onto the MAF

 

Performance wise it should be the same if the oiled one is oiled correctly and not impeding the flow of air.


Heres how to clean the AEM dry filters its essentially the same

nice video perfect!

 

Anyone know will the 2009 part fit on 2010 im pretty sure it will just wanted to double check

 

yes its exactly the same truck except for wiring harness and cup holders

 

i bought the AFE CAI, i heard that the oil from the K&N messes up the MAF, and if it doesnt, then oh well, better safe than sorry i guess

one of the guys i used to work with put the K&N in his and the power difference is about the same.

 

thanks ordered

 

should be good!

AFE it's the way to go.

 

I have run K&N air filters in my trucks for years without issue. Cleaning them has never seemed like a big deal to me, pretty easy to do - use a garden hose, dry off, and spray with red oil: cleaning procedure. And the fear that oil would contaminate the operation of the MAF is certainly only possible if someone excessively over oiled the filter.. MAF Urban Myth

Anyway, I can say the aftermarket K&N provided a difference in performance on my truck over a stock air filter.. but better yet is a big money saver long term.

 

Theres a thread on here started by my cousin, who had K&N filters in all his cars, but over oiled it on this which fucked his maf up and lead to his fuel pump going out.

Its not likeley but could happen.
