I decided on the AEM Brute Force!

I am not going to need the flow of the workhorse and I wanted to try a non-oiled filter!
I got it for $239. Shipped about $6.00 cheaper than the the next lowest vendor!

What is the difference between a AEM brute force and a AFE stage 2? I have a '05 and just ordered a DIableSport Predator and just removed the muffler. I will be ordering guages soon and a CAI and that will be it.

and the AEM is Dryflow - You don't have to oil the filter.

Yes I know your not joking. I just got out of a '01 dodge ram 1500 4wd. By then time I got through with it there was nothing stock on it but the t-case. Everything else had something done to it and it was sittting on 40s and one ton axles. I dumped 10K in it within a year.

Is the dryflow better? I have been reading that the K&Ns are bad filter to run on diesels too. Is that because they are oil filter and not dry?

K&N are not made for the air that a diesel can suck through the filter they allow to much dirt to get by. AFE is also a oil filter but gets really good filtration results. However I think the new AEM's will be the filter of choice becuase you don't have to oil it and it filters down to 1 micron. Paper normally filters better and oil normaly flows better. But that is changing now that the new paper filters are coming out.

Good question, or do you just buy a new filter?

Also, how much are the Volants and where's a good place to get them?
