Anyone tried the AEM dry drop in air filter? Reviews?

I prefer dry vs wet filters, so am leaning more towards the AEM vs K&N.
I've done a search, and even on Youtube can't find anyone that's posted a review.

Anyone here running one?

The only advantage of a drop in is that it's reusable.
Won't give you any hp or very minimal sound if any.

I've used them before but don't anymore, takes years to recoup the additional cost becasue it's reusable and many times I sold the car before it mattered.

I had k&n in my old car. A 93' camry. I had it on for almost 60k. Cleaned it once. I don't want anything that can increase tack beyond emissions systems putting anything in my intercooler. I got the AEM one and put it in last week. I'm running my own tune with PRL pipes. No clue if 4-9whp is added. Last I had a clean filter was before I was tuned.

With a throttle by wire system, you will notice some "reaction" time with throttle response - thus, thinking that it is "power". It would simply increase throttle response.

Oiled vs Dry
- The High Flow filters that are oiled, are designed a bit more open with the cotton material; thus are lightly oiled to catch those smaller micron particles.
- Those that are DRY are not oild and won't catch the smaller micron particles.

Either way, they both work the same but cater to a broader audience and their preference.
