I don't know.

I would go with dry.

Always worry about over-oiling and getting a film of oil on the MAF sensor and either getting a code , limp mode or both.

I would and did go with oiled. Cry is less maintenance, but oiled lets less smaller debris into the engine. And you only have to oil about once every 50,000 miles according to K&N and the process is very simple, you can even get oil in an aersol can if you're afraid of over oiling, it spits it out in a thinner film...I think.

Personally, I'd go Stillen..and did

Well you are right 50,000 is realistically a long *** time, and know of place that gives you a good deal on one?

For the prices you should PM the vendors selling the items you are looking for. Good luck.

Why would you get the short for $300 when you can get the Takeda CAI for $350
