Oil Free Cold Air Intake

Does anyone make a sealed cold air intake that uses a reusable oil-free filter? All the true cold air intakes that I have found seem to use the oiled filters.

Thanks!

You could buy a system that fits what your looking for and then replace the filter with an AEM filter (reusable and no oil). That's pretty much what I did, I'm running an AEM filter in my AFE stage 2 box. The filter even fit with no modifications needed.

Thanks lsgibb!

I just have a hard time paying $200+ for a cold air kit and then turning around and spending another $50+ to replace a brand new filter.

Well the only sealed CAI that I know of is the Airraid kit but the filter is oiled. Everyone else leaves the boxes open, some more so than others.

Volant makes a sealed box CAI, but they also use an oiled filter.

I would really like to find a Scotty II, but so far I have had no luck. :sad:

Amsoil just came out wth a line of reusable cone style filters. They use nanofiber filtering media that flows more than a BHAF, but not quite as much as an oiled style filter. But, at least it still filters. You blow it out with compressed air.

Sorry it was Volant that I was thinking of, not Air Raid.

Tru-flow uses oil, just like a UNI. I've had one of each. Same thing.

I am using the S&B intake plastic with a AEM Dry Flow filter, it's a tight fit but works well.

That S&B kit looks pretty nice!

So AFE (Stage 2), Volant, and S&B all make sealed, cold air intakes. Are there any others?

I wonder if it could be a special order deal from AFE directly? Might be worth a try.

Actually when you say sealed do you mean completely? Cause the AFE stage 2 is not a sealed intake, the fender side of the box is left open so basically only the top and bottom and three sides are covered.
