well, i read up on another post and somebody got theirs off of amazon.com and i went there and found both models (AFE 24-91030 at $62.29 shipped or afe 24-55507 at $42.51 shipped). so, a 5" height versus a 7" height and the taller one is $20 cheaper.
hey kyushin, is the afe filter just like a k&n filter, i have the k&n cleaner and spray oil from my NA intake still, is this what is used with the afe one, it is just blue instead of red right, so it's the same thing?

The new filter design looks pretty cool. Let me know, if you feel any noticeable difference in sound/performance.

This could be a straight up marketing thing from AFE, but when I first bought the AFE filter, I called their customer support and talked to a live person there, and asked them about the cleaner and oil kit, they told me they don't recommend cleaner solutions and the oil solutions made for other filters. Because I already have the K&N and Comptech cleaner/oil kits from my other cars, and really wanted to save some money.

I just used a K&N filter cleaning kit for my AFE and it's been fine.

Is there a AEM dry flow filter for our aplicatiom?
1/3 down there's a whole list of sizes for the AEM dryflow. I'm not sure what size you guys use but this is where I'm getting one for my turbo intake.
hope that helps

Did you have the AFE cleaner kit? I can't imagine oiled gauze type filters to have that much of a different in protectants.
