Air intake questions?????

OK, I have been doing a lot of reading on 3 different Dodge Cummins sites and have a few questions

1. which is better dry or oiled filter media and why?
2. Do you have to wet clean the AEM brute Force filter media?
3. Have any of you had problems with an AEM brute force intake?
4. Have any of you had problems with a S+B intake?

I have the S&B. I would recommend that you check out their website. I feel that oiled is better. The problems associated with oiled filters are user issues and center around over oiling. If you perform the clean and re-oil procedure properly, you will not have a problem.

I concur with Cowboy...I run oiled...but don't go off my observations with my truck, I have just over 6200 on my truck right now...go off my dad's truck...99' with over 450k...all stock minus the CAI and it's a K&N oiled filter...maintain it properly and you won't go wrong...course, I'm sure the same applies to all the filters out there for the most part...

I'm running a Air Raid drop in replacement, about 10K after I installed it, I opened up the air tube before the turbo, and there was no dust. Saw 1-2 MPG increase.
