i liked it when i had my integra. i mean to me its just a filter. to me that matters most is how you have to clean it. i love my fujita filter. warm soapy water ...swish it around, and then dunk it back in clean water, then WALA! its clean, then you let it dry.

other then that i heard the apexi filters are good cuz of that spiral design.

personally, what is ever cheapest.

I have looked at the dry flow filter before. I don't see anything wrong with it, just don't get it wet! It looks like it would filter better than the traditional cotton gauze (K&N).

That AEM filter looks like a good bet. I have seen one in the auto parts store. :-)

S&B did a ISO study of all the filter types on the market.

It boils down to: Dry filters may flow a fraction more than oiled, but they let in more contaminants.
