I just bought one of this style Amsoil filter to replace the AEM dry media...it's supposed to flow better and clean easier (also ordered an outerwears cover for it too)

I use a FIPK and it works good for me. I put on an outer wear. I was up in the Yukon and was on some very dusty roads not a trace of dust in my intake after 6500 klicks.

On my 04.5 I have the amsoil ea filter. I just changed my oil yesterday and pulled the filter and tube out to access the filter. Saw all kinds of fine dust getting past the crappy stock airbox. Not the amsoils fault as far as I can tell, because the stock ones did that and also my airaid drop in did it. So I layed the grease on thick to the non sealing seal and am hoping for a little better result.

The Amsoil filters are made with DONALDSON media, which imo is the best available.
I'd also consider the AEM unit or the new Pro-DRY units from AFE.
DRY is what you want.

I'm using the Amsoil EaU 4510 as my BHAF. As noted above, it's a dry filter using Donaldsons' nano technology. It's reusable. All you do is blow it off with low pressure air(something like less than 15 psi). They claim it's good for 100000 miles. So far I really like it and would buy another if I had to do it again. I do plan on getting one of those prefilters that goes over it to help protect it from oils and moisture. The way I look at it, no reason to ruin a good filter and a nice way to protect my investment.
