LMAO, there's no such thing as a "dry flow CAI". Only the filter is dry flow or oil charged. And as long as a filter is made that fits the tubing, you can replace an oil-charged filter with a dry-flow...which can be done for the Fujita. I have an oil-charged on mine and have had no problems what so ever, no CELs, no gunk on the MAF, but if you want to be on the safe side just buy a dry-flow filter for it.

Don't waste your time with a full CAI unless you plan to heavily mod, just get the AEM and mod your airbox. You will get nearly identical gains to a CAI.

Yeah, but it doesn't make it whine as loud!!! AEM has the "DRY FLO" filter... which you can buy and put on any intake... I actually put the AEM filter on my K&N intake to make sure I didn't get the "GUMMED UP MAF" cel!

I have an Injen CAI that I've had on my car for about 12k miles. I also have dual e-rams which suck a lot of air through the oiled filter. Only once did I get oil on my MAF, and it was when I was racing at the drag strip in the rain. I think a little water spray got on the filter contributing to the contamination of the MAF.

The solution: Just remove the MAF (2 screws). Spray it with brake cleaner and reinstall it in the CAI. Then just reset the ECM (with a scan tool or by disconnecting your battery for about 10 minutes) and you're good to go.

Moral of the story: It's unlikely that under normal conditions (with a properly oiled filter) that your MAF will get contaminated. But if it does, it's not the end of the world. You can remove it, clean it, and reinstall it in less than 5 minutes.

If you are planning on running a short ram, the filter is located a lot closer to the MAF, and I think that the chance of oil contamination is much higher.

I have an 06 ss/sc gm stage 2, and gm stage 3 pulley with AEM cold air intake. You cannot go wrong with them.

Does the Ingen intake sound louder than the AEM intake since it is a full replacement? Also would the AEM filter fit the Ingen intake.
