Well here are my 2 cents. I lived in Casa Grande, AZ. for a while. If you haven't lived there, you probably have seen it on the news where the whole town gets covered buy a dust storm. Well with winds well over 50mph blowing dust everywhere, it even gets in your house leaving the inside dusted everywhere. Now on my truck, I have a Volant cai. With all those dust storms, it gets pretty gunked up realy quick. I had thought about going back to the stock intake while I was living there. But during one of the times that I was cleaning the filter, I decided to put in a new paper filter in my wifes Honda Accord. When I looked down inside the intake tube, I saw a fine layer of dust inside the tube. There was no dust inside the intake tube of my Volant. After that, I replaced the filter on my wifes car with an oiled filter and never saw dust in there again. Granted, it was a pain cleaning them more often than most people have to but in those contitions it was worth it. Now most people don't live in conditions like that so they can get away with using paper filters. But thats just my thoughts on that.
