Do tunes have to be adjusted depending on what air filter you have? I have a K&N(cotton/oil ) air filter now. Looking at going back to a paper filter(possibly the aFe Pro-Dry ). But need to first know if tunes need to be tweaked differently to accommodate different filters.

Personally, I would not use anything but an OEM filter. I have no information on the aFe Pro-Dry you are considering. What, in your opinion, makes it superior? Since it's a "drop in", it can't really have a greater filtration area and, if it filters to a smaller micron size, it will cut off airflow. Of course it COULD let in more air if it allowed more crud into the engine, but removing the filter altogether will do that too. ![]() - Jack

Not superior per se. I just hate the oil process of the K&N(oil filters). The aFe Pro-Dry uses a synthetic fabric. No oil but can still be washed and reused forever.

For $62.00 I would hope it might last a while. Notice there's no real "lifetime" estimate. I dunno, I find paper filters are pretty "convenient" and don't really have to be changed all that often.

Well, ordered one. Guess I'll find out if they're any good.

Good on you! I just went to their website, and that's what they show.

Let me know what you think, I've never seen them. Just tried their website and couldn't find any for pre-2009 though. The only reason I use the oiled filter is because I constantly have to clean my air filter. Went about 10 K on my paper filter and it isn't in that bad of shape but since I got the oiled filter I have to clean it every 3k. I'm not gonna complain about cleaning my intake filter more often since it is the only fine particle protection the engine has.

Will do. J&J was actually right about the price. $38 was the "starting low as" price. Once I entered in my specific truck, it was $56 or something. No harm though as I needed to spend $75 for my coupon to count so got a new dash pod as well.

Any way to tell if this filter is "better" then the K&N?
![]() It seems fine enough. It's slightly larger then the K&N while retaining the same basic shape. |
