Thumbs up Which Air Filter?

Alright - I won the ICEBOX - now my choice that I need help with - don't know for sure if it even matters - do I go with the Amsoil air filter or th S&B filter? Why should I choose one over the other?
Thanks - Shawn

Can't tell you why one over the other but, I have the Amsoil 4510 with outerwear and love it. Easy maintenance I had the AFE before that and hated the cleaning and oiling crap

Both are good filters, but my choice is the S&B filter. The Amsoil filters I have run have all collapsed due to high boost. I collapsed 1 in the first week and they are hard to clean unless you use outerwear. I have had the S&B filter on for 14 months and I have not cleaned it. It still looks good and there has been no problems. I am testing the hell out of it! The S&B cleaning kit is very easy to use and you cant over oil it.

I'm with IceBox on this one I have had both but I prefer the S&B. My Amsoil filter was letting dust in and I do not have a problem now that I am using the S&B.
