AFE air filters ?

I've used a Pro Dry S on 2 different applications: 1 drop-in, and 1 cone on intake. I really like them. The convenience of being able to vacuum or wash in soapy water, can't be beat. Airaid has an equivalent now. AEM also makes a dry filter, but recommends their cleaner.
just put a pro dry S drop in in my Scion a couple weeks ago. Seemed to fit great, but i wont know how it performs for a little while. Throttle response is a little better, don't notice any power difference, but I don't think you will with a drop in. I've had a Pro 7 drop in in my 08 jeep I used to have, I was very happy with that one.They are good quality filters that seem to fit great, sometimes better than the factory filter.
The Afe Pro Dry S is a first rate filter. It returned a silicon reading of 3PPM in a used oil analysis and fits like a glove. The convenience of not having to oil it is a huge plus. I purchased two so there would be no down time.

I have an AEM DryFlow drop-in panel type in my Forester, but I have also read reviews that the aFe ProDry S is really good, too. Buy either one with confidence.
Here is the long and the short. I replaced my K&N cone (cleaned and lightly oiled as needed) with the largest AFE filter I could squeeze in the SS. The K&N was replaced as it left dust in the intake boot and all over the sensors. The AFE has left the intake clean and bone dry.
I would also like to add the AFE is simply built with superior craftsmanship. BEAUTIFUL!

I have two AFE Dry S air filters on two cars and have no complaints. Didn't really see/feel any difference though I wasn't expecting any.
Main purpose was to have a lifetime filter and ease of cleaning, which it accomplishes.

ProDry cone and panels, all I will use anymore
I wish they make them for the CRV. I have one in my Tacoma.
I know what I want for my Civic next...

After thinking about it and also seeing in a quadratec catalog.... I think very soon I will be getting the aFe Cold air intake system stage 2 with the pro dry S filter.
I have been running a simple K&N dropin filter since I got my driver's license and knew back then that K&N was the 'zing' of what performance enhancements for the 4.0 engine.
Now I am wanting a filter pack just because.... but I know I don't want the K&N filter pack.
I agree I have had the dust on the throttle body every so often when I clean it with the STP throttle body cleaner and a toothbrush. : )

Well, I got the aFe Pro Dry S for the Civic and it made the K&N look inferior. It makes me regret every drop-in K&N I've ever bought. lol. The Pro Dry S is a step up in quality. Better gasket seal overall, a stout form/fit, still a higher flow rate than OE paper media but not at the risk of increased Silicon or particulate entry, plus no oil necessary or in use.

I just looked up what one would cost for a 99tacoma and that may get the aFe filterpack rather than the cherokee. It needs a boost in more air because I have always been skeptical about the weird fiber the replacement wix, stp, and so on filters have looked.
I know that they are fine, but more air means more power in my book.

^Is the BMW OEM a standard paper or a very good quality/possibly synthetic?
AFE Pro Dry S drop-in replacement was great for my app, I'm lovin' it. Can't wait for used oil analysis to follow, though I was 3,500 miles in on another OCI with K&N to be fair...

I have BOTH of the above, and use the EaA for the winter salt dust, and the aFe for spring/summer performance driving.

I put an AFE Pro Dry in my car, but I can't feel a difference in performance. However, some used oil analysis show that it is an excellent filter for keeping dust out of the engine.
