Default AIR FILTERS??????

Ok, i know the difference in between paper filters and oil soaked filters. but does it make a difference and why? as far as i can tell i would go with the reusable oil filter. but it seems like most after market intakes comes with either or as an option. tell me what you think, and or know. thank you

Default You Want Clean Air In Your Engine?

Paper is more efficient and cheaper. The only drawback to paper is if it gets wet. The new 4" pleated paper filters in the stock airbox flow plenty of air and give the all around best results, unless you drive a mud bogger under water half the time:

Paper...they filter better. Too many stories of dusted engines from poor sealing/poor filtering aftermarket filters.
