@PRL Motorsports is your drop in filter a dry or oiled filter?
Why use a PRL Motorsports air filter?

Our oiled filters are constructed from high quality, double layer cotton to increase the filtration surface by 10% - 15%. This causes air to move freely while maintaining superior filtration, trapping particles as small as 5 microns! The cotton filter is encased by coated steel mesh to ensure your PRL Motorsports air filter withstands the toughest of conditions!

Each filter is hand-molded using a flexible rubber base to ensure an airtight seal and absorb vibration. These filters do not use pressure-molding like other manufacturers, which can cause the rubber to seep into the filter element blocking airflow by up to 25%! Our air filters utilize a precision four-step process to virtually eliminate rubber seepage and maximize airflow!

Sorry to be a bother, but can you tell us whether "within a few days of the original ETA" means slightly before or after 10/15? The reason I ask is I'm leaving for a road trip to the dragon run in late October, and I'd like to know if I need to make time to install this or not. I'm excited!
I don't know about the ship date any more than you but...from installing it, I'd say you could do it in 15 minutes or less. I'd recommend opening the box and finding your 1/4" drive sockets to use on the hose clamps. Also, the one factory hose clamp has the head snapped off so you can't remove it - for me, I was able to just turn-and-pull the hose section back and forth and it came off quickly.

What factory hose clamp is snapped off?

Pretty sure it's that one.
It's like a security screw, or kinda like the fasteners that held the TPS in place on B/D. Maybe someone has a better picture...

If you ordered just the silicone tubing then those will start shipping out right around 10/15 (give or take a day or two), the full kit will start shipping out around 11/5...we have to leave a few days of leeway for that ETA for various reasons

Any chance we can get a tube without the PRL branding on it?

I noticed the ETA has changed to 10/23 on the website. I'm guessing that means I won't get the part in time for my trip on 10/24 or are some shipping out before then?

The ETA changed for filters and newer orders, however we have plenty in stock and will start shipping tomorrow once our first batch of fittings get back from anodizing today or tomorrow. The only hold up on the later orders is the machined piece that gets anodized black, which takes 1-2 weeks as they come back from anodizing we will be shipping accordingly.

Will we receive tracking info?
Yes, you will get a direct email from UPS.
