AEM has that new dry flow filter which I do not think has affiliations with K&N, but do not offer the right size.

the comptech filter is actually foam on the outside and k&n style on the inside. like a k&n wrapped in a foam filter. the filter cleaning kit worked wonders on mine, it looks brand new.

bringing back an old thread....but was wondering if anyone knows if it is "OK" to wash the foam filter provided with CTSC and NOT oil it and use it?

I use the K&N cleaner and oil kit on my Comptech filter. I read it was ok but don't remember the thread. Works great so far.

I have both K&N and the UNI kit. but the question Im asking is if its ok to drive the car with a "dry" filter meaning cleaning the foam filter and not oiling it.
