Any one have any opinions on Amsoil new dry Air Filter

My friend said this new Amsoil Dry air filter was the way to go with a KN&N cold air intake

I was interested in using the new amsoil nanofiber filter, but I don't know if they make one for my application..

Yes, throw that K&N POS away and go with the Amsoil filter. Of course that's just my personal opinion, but based on 50,000 miles of personal K&N airfilter use.

The only reason I stick with my stock air filter and my stock air-box is because it works well, and the gains I've heard from guys running K & N FIPK systems are minimal to none, and switching to just a K & N Air filter replacement is pointless. Why would I want worse filtration and a bunch of oil over my AFM, etc. ? (yes, yes, I know, if you oil it properly it apparently isn't an issue but why take the chance?).

Running the Amsoil filter sounds good - it's nice to have a dry filter option for an intake system, and they advertise significant filtration benefits over wet gauze/K & N style filters, but in the end you're going to pay $250 for the K & N system, plus you have to find the right Amsoil filter for it and pay for that. Do you know exactly which model it is of Amsoil "Nanofiber" filter to replace the K & N one? You CAN get a pre-filter as well for the Amsoil filters to help even more.

Here is a link: http://www.amsoil.com/products/ea_fi..._and_Specs.pdf

And Amsoil does not make a replacement air filter using the nanofiber for 3vze's unfortunately.

once the new amsoil gets out there, we need someone to run some tests like this amsoil vs. kn from a while ago:

my oil impregnated is still fine, the wife's died and i'm trying to decide on the new dry one for her.

does this help....
More Cold Air = More Horsepower
The basic purpose of the air intake system is to bring cool air from outside the engine compartment into the engine. The cooler air is denser than the air found within the hot engine compartment. The denser charge contains more oxygen than warmer air, providing better combustion through a more effective air/fuel mixture.

Another advantage of most specialty-equipment cold air intakes is their consistent diameters and the absence of sharp bends, both of which help to eliminate turbulence in the air stream.

Large and Growing Market
According to research done by the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA), a new air intake system is among the first modifications a consumer makes to his or her vehicle. Since changing the air filter alone cannot eliminate air restriction built into the vehicle at the factory, replacing the factory air flow assembly includes replacing the filter, air box and air path. SEMA reports sales of air intakes are over 300,000 every year.

While intake kits were initially sold only for performance-type applications, they are now also being marketed and used as a way to boost fuel economy in SUVs, minivans, trucks and more.

AMSOIL EaAU
AMSOIL Ea Air Induction Filters fit most of the popular intake systems available. They provide improved cold air intake and a level of engine protection only an Ea Filter can provide. AMSOIL is currently offering nine Ea Air Induction Filters with varying lengths and widths. These filters have flange IDs of 3", 3.5", 4", 4.125”, 4.5” and 6". Since these filters offer a universal fit, AMSOIL provides the dimension sheet below that customers can use to determine the proper filter for their applications.

Cleanable
AMSOIL Ea Air Induction Filters are cleanable and long lasting. AMSOIL recommends cleaning the Ea Air Induction Filter when designated by the restriction gauge if the vehicle is so equipped, or according to operating conditions. If it is used in extremely dusty environments or in a performance vehicle, more frequent cleanings may be required.

Unique Design
To increase filter surface area and the volume of air entering the engine, the top of many popular Ea Air Induction Filters (EaAU) is cut away. The media is inserted in a conical form pointing toward the direction of airflow.

Quality Construction
AMSOIL Ea Air Induction Filters are made from the same high-quality nanofiber media found in other AMSOIL Ea Air Filters. The nanofiber media is pleated with epoxy-coated wire on the face and back of the media for additional strength and stiffness. High quality, pliable urethane connectors with plastisol potting complete the product. Each Ea Air Induction Filter comes with a clamp for convenient installation.

AMSOIL EaAU filters are designed to replace air induction filters on a dimensional basis only. EaAU filters do not provide connections for engine sensors found on some aftermarket induction system

Errr.... thanks?

Sorry for the slight jacking! I too am looking for an Amsoil replacement for the K&N. However I have a Part number of RC-4700 for the 3.4. If anyone has part numbers for a Truflow, or the Amsoil I'd appreciate it. I emailed amsoil them but have yet to hear from them? Thanks
