Does anyone use the aem dryflow air filters? Im considering buying the drop in replacement for my 3.7 F150...... how good is the filtration compared to the stock paper filter? Right now I have a Fram Ultra air filter.
Yes, their filtration efficiency is significantly better than K&N. Best on the market is the Donaldson PowerCore, but it's not an option for many applications. Volant makes kits that use the PowerCore.http://www.trucktrend.com/features/0512st-aem-dryflow-filter Way better looking efficiency than K&N.
I use one on my 3.5 EB F150. No issues yet. I just cleaned it with a shop vac after 30k. Figure I’ll check it again in another 30k.
Is the power core the Donaldson filter that AmsOil relabeled as their eaa? That’s what I used on my last f150 but I bought that one when they were clearing them out.Yes, their filtration efficiency is significantly better than K&N.

Yes, AMSOIL licensed the Donaldson Synteq media, but that's not the same concept as the PowerCore, which is an actual filter design, not just a media technology. The Synteq media is also absolutely fantastic.Nevermind, looks like the power core is the design used as oe on 6.0 diesels and on many over the road tractors(not sure if oe or an added upgrade).
K&N and AEM are one of the same company. I'm not really sure how the AEM compares to stock but I run both K&N and AEM on different vehicles and prefer the AEM just because it's less messy to deal with.
I'm bought one for my 2014 Focus with manual transmission....I have no complaints.
My reasons were because I did the 'snorkel delete' and AEM dryflo because my M/T Focus seemed to have 'breathing difficulty' at take-off. The snorkel delete and Dryflo made a difference but it's still hard to get smooth take-offs and I've been driving 'stick' for over 40 years....
Right on. Did the same on my 2013 Focus manual...snorkel delete, K&N, and the RS air box top for some noise. Also did the ST inlet/trumpet. All good little mods with some real-world improvements.I'm bought one for my 2014 Focus with manual transmission....I have no complaints.

I use one in my supercharged Tundra. Was using the TRD filter which is the K&N filter but it was collapsing under boost. Testing has shown the AEM does not collapse under boost.
