What's the difference?
 

Hey guys n gals
just want to know whats the difference between dry airfilters and oil airfilters....
or am i tottaly off with that question. Reason why im asking is cos i asked a shop here in thailand and he asked if i wanted a dry air intake system for the jazz or a wet intake system...
Dont forget over here in Thailand people dont speak perfect English, so maybe you guys can figure out what hes talking about :confused: .

Please help people...

He probably means an air filter that has been treated with oil to help it trap dirt. K and N filters are like that. Amsoil has sold foam air filters that are treated with oil. You can wash and re-oil most of them. Dry air filters are usually paper and you throw them away when used.

great thanks for the information. So on that note does anyone know a site that has loads of different air intake systems so i can have a little browse. every time iv looked i get crappy sites.

AEM have used air filters that require oil. thier new generation air intake systems do not require oil. Air filters that need oil present some problem. I have one of thier SRI on my RSX.

thanks for the info. Im thinking of buying a AEM cold air intake. Thanks for the link :)

very nice infos guys

nice link...

I got the HKS cold air induction kit insted :)

wow thats nice can u get some pics plz??? hahaha

I think when/if I do put a CAI on the Fit I will be getting, I'll probably check out the AEM filter. I have a K&N on my Tiburon, and it's so dusty around here, it gets dirty quick. It would be easier to clean if I didn't have to buy chemicals and re oil it.
