I currently have an AEM intake with the regular AEM filter. I was interested in the dryflow because from what I've read here it filters better than the oiled filters correct? My other question is how does it "flow" compared to a regular AEM filter?

No oil, correct.
I swapped out my K&N for one.
Flow questions? That may take some work. There's a few links on this page: AEM DryFlow

did u notice any loss in the way the intake sounded/performed?
Nope. Sounds the same. Performs the same. No change in MPG.
Better filtration numbers than the K&N (not sure what the oiled AEM filters were at) and no oiling process every 30k miles.
It almost sounds too good to be true.

Yeah thats what i was thinking. I like the idea of better filtering with what seems to be the same flowing kind of filter as i have now (original AEM) and based on what I've read on AEM's site and what you've said that is infact the case. I will most likely be buying one shortly.
Anyone know exactly what the cleaning solution is in AEM's Dryflow cleaning kit, and if there is a less expensive homebrew solution to AEM's solution?
EDIT - found a source for the AEM stuff

What did u find PRND3L?
Well, all I know is that I popped off my Airaid filter yesterday and blew it out with compressed air from the inside just to clean it up a little and look down inside the tube. I was really, really surprised that the insides weren't even dusty. Even with OEM filters and all my other cars, there was a little bit of dust, but not this one. Also, I've had this filter on for two years now and it's been dry and dusty.
I wish AEM made a drop in replacement filter. I already have the airaid mit that replaces the stock intake tube.
**** i just watched that video on the tests, i want one.
I put a replacement AEM filter on my K&N intake a few weeks ago. I'll be interested in seeing whether my silicon numbers decline on my used oil analysis.
Will it fit the cold air intakes made by other makers?
They make filters to fit a number of intake diameters.
This looks like a filter/Cold Intake I would like to look into. Unfortunately, I drive an Xterra and I didn't see a listing for it.
The other night i removed my AMSOIL airfilter for my stock one and after seeing what was left behind with the oil im glad i made the move. Now im thinking on one of those intakes.
Well they don't make one for the new Tacoma's yet either. Here is what I did:

You could do the same. I would email AEM first and see if a Brute Force kit for the Xterra is even in the works. If not buy a K&N (or whatever brand) kit for your truck and retrofit the AEM filter.
Mine has been great so far. Changing the oil this weekend so I'll get a used oil analysis with this filter in a few weeks.
Ahhhhh, great idea. Nice job on your truck. Thanks!
Nothing drastic. Maybe a slight increase, I'm talking 0.5 mpg.
I'm honest. I didn't buy an intake for mpg gains or minuscule HP gains at unusable RPM bands. I like it for the sound and the look. The acceleration is better in my truck, that I can feel. I think some people mistake responsiveness for an increase in HP, hence the "butt dyno".
The fact that it's a reusable filter and doesn't need to be oiled is another bonus.
