HKS drop in air filter
To be honest i have no problem with oiled filters, i use to have K&N on my wife's truck before i switched to AFE's pro dry S filters. When AEM came out with they're dry filters back then i was all over it, only because, for me it was just easier and quicker to clean, didn't have to worry about oiling it or anything. Wash em, dry em and slap it back on.

Same thing with my wife's toyota 4runner MAF sensor was just super sensitive, i feel lucky not having any trouble so far.

Although, just by the sheer composition of dry and wet elements, dry will tend to filter more reliably than a wet element. Wet filter elements depend on the oil to work properly. Take out the oil and the pores open up significantly. After washing K&N's, you can actually see the holes when held up to a light source.

True and sad that they don't make it specifically for our intakes. If you do own a CAI though you could always buy one of they're universal cone filter replacements, i did this before i just had to measure my CAI tube so i can find one that would possibly fit and walahhhh you have yourself an intake with a trueflow filter.

Their prior elements were rated as such, but i think these new panel filters use the new elements.

Anyone see/feel any performance gains with these?
Also, why does their product description say:
Using a 2-layer wet filter system this will give you a high flow intake system on your vehicle and help retain the factory air box.
But as I understand on this thread that its a dry filter...
?

Personally, I would get one of the synthetic fiber, dry style panel filters. Did some checking and the 2007 350Z and our cars use the same air filter # from Wix and K&N so there's good evidence that they can share air filters.

Not many manufacturers list any filters for the '07+ G35 or even the '08 350Z (WTF) but if you look up the '07 350Z then the options increase. Check this one by Amsoil...

Disclaimer: This is all based on my own research and the assumption that the '07 350z has the VQ35HR with the dual intake so please check for yourself before buying as I haven't tested this theory yet. And let us know if you do confirm the fit...

I used the EAA filter on my 04 & loved it.
I would definitely use again on my 08 if the Z filter fits.
This is great info. How u doing Bro..CSquare? Do they made for our G anyway?
