I'd use the Grey dry filter if I were you I tend to shy away from oiled filters nowadays

Yea but i left my oiles filter in my laundry room to dry,

And there is a big difference in the 2 filters, the end has a cone in it on the blue one, but the grey one is just a closed off end, try finding pics on the outside end of the 2 cones, kinda hard to explain

I know what you're talking about as my Pro Dry S is closed bottom too, the term for that is "venturi", and from what I can tell the oiled filters have it and the Dry filters don't. No matter, it should not affect performance.

did you declare your intake and how much it costs at the border? i go across to blaine all the time but i only bring back groceries which i've never been taxed for

Hmm, I wouldn't exactly call it a venturi but a double cone for additional filtering area, yes.

Here's a venturi:

i always declare the price I paid, the one time I lie and they catch me in a lie, they will search my ride every time after

most of the time under 400$ they don't care, I didn't pay tax on the intake, they let me go

So the only difference between the Stage 1 and 2 is that the Stage 2 comes with two filters?

stage 1=only 1 cone and the filter box
stage 2=2 cones, intake piping+related clamps, clean/oil spray
search online and it shows you

Well I saw that the Stage 2 comes with the intake piping as well but none of the descriptions have specified that it comes with two cone filter elements. However after looking at the directions it specifically states that the Stage 2 kt comes with a Pro-Dry Filter as well. Thanks.
