    AFE all the way. The paper version is able to be cleaned as well. K&N doesn't filter as well either.

    Too many, but not enough....
    Oem paper all the way.

    Only way to increase power from a filter is letting in more air, only way to do that is not filtering as well. Plus if you get an oily one, it'll mess up your air flow sensor.

    I made that mistake a while back, had to get a new MAF sensor after installing an oiled filter. Lesson learned.
