Injen dry filter..?

I ordered an Injen CAI from NGASales and it's been installed for almost a month now, however I just noticed that Injen used to use Red filters, now they're Blue. What else I've noticed, is that the new filters say "Injen" with "Amsoil" printed below, on them. They are dry filters now. Injen > AEM?

When this overhaul took place, I do not know.

Oiled. I guess they paired together with Amsoil to make a dry filter?

I'm guessing it's very new, because this is the first I've heard of it.

I am an Amsoil club member and get their news letters and I recall that last year there was an announcement that they were partnering with Injen to develop intakes for diesel trucks. Apparently Injen was designing/manufacturing the piping and Amsoil was developing the dry flow filters. As far as the article was concerned, it was only for diesels, but that was a year ago, and who knows? Maybe it was a very fruitful partnership.

and you think your dry filter is better how???

if you oil it correctly there is no risk in using an oiled one.

and.


you dont ever have to buy a new one. EVER.

pssssssst

you can clean dry filters too.

just a little fyi.

AEM sells a kit with some solution in it. you put some in abucket swoosh the filter around. dump it, then do it again. and let it dry.

i dont know about you but that sounds a hell of a lot easier than a oiled filter where you have to do the same thing as a dry filter except you also have to sit there and spray oil on.

Dry> Oiled.

hell you dont even need to use that .... you can use a little simple green mixed in with the water and clean your AEM dry flow. I must say i like the AEM dry flow cleaning procedure better than k&n's.

I got that Injen filter too. And it came and it seemed to be pre-oiled with a more clear oil. I didn't realize it was dryflow. So after it got dirty I cleaned and oiled it like it was an oiled filter. Haven't had any problems so far.

I guess I'm curious. If it's supposed to be a "dryflow" then why was there oil on it when I pulled it out of the box?!
