I was just curious to know if anyone has experienced these types of filters. I know AEM's is a new innovation or whatever, but I've seen comments about people saying their dry filters didn't perform as well as the oiled. It would be awesome if this would replace the factory box without the dealer hassling me.

well its like they said, its the first performance filter offered that is a dry element. i personally have not seen any other companies produce something like this, but alot of factory replacement filters are dry and i suppose they work ok, but its not performance oriented like this particular application. can anyone else some imput to this subject??

Apexi Power intakes use dry filters and have consistently performed the best in air cleaning tests. If you want to look at results I remember seeing some on www.honda-tech.com.

and dry filters are alot less hassle than oiled ones like K&N, you can just knock off some dirt on a dry filter, you have to wash and re-oil their filters and you also run the risk over over oiling as well. its a pain in the butt. you shouldnt have any problems with the dealers, but if you want to avoid any potential hassle, keep your factory box and put it back in if you need repairs at the dealership. if i am correct there is a law saying dealers cannot refuse warranty work on something such as your tranny( or anything unrelated to your air intake system) because you have an intake, but that doesnt mean they arent going to try to screw you anyways.
