Intake question? PLEASE HELP!!!

[GiRARDsays]

I have an aFe intake on my 03 3.0. I have the convetional oil filter on it. I didn't notice any performance gains, but it does sound good at WOT. Plus, I got it for cost since we're an aFe distributor at my work.

On the 3.0 you wont really feel a difference, but on the 4.4i you will. The owner of AFE told me on the phone when I called to confirm the results. He said that he has a 01 4.4i and a 03 4.6is. He told me on the 4.4i he got 10 hp and 20 ft. torque extra ( dyno tested with proof of performance gain) and on the 4.6is, he found almost the same but a little less like 8 hp and 15 ft. torque. Now just by me installing the CAI, I noticed right off the bat! Big difference in take off and at mid range. Its like the car just wants more and more. This is just my opinion. But I also to dynoed the car at diamond performance in Carol Stream IL. and found the same results on my car. So, I guess the owner was right and guarantees his product 100%. I believe him because I had the dyno done for my self. Just my 2 cents. Good Luck buddy.

Would it be safe to say that the Dry Air Filter would work better? What are the pros and cons of each, being the dry and oiled filter?

Some are a bit paranoid about the oiled filters, which is one of the readys the Pro Dry S was released.

I personally would run the Oiled type.
