Was looking at cold air intakes. I see that aFe has a few of them, but aside from two of them being either dry, or oiled, and another having a container around it (the Momentum GT Pro), I can't really tell the difference. Is one better than another?
On the ones that are an exposed filter that are not contained in a box, it seems that they would get really dirty really fast and just not be that good. I've never used a cold air intake so I don't know a whole lot about them, other than they are supposed to increase HP and torque with more airflow to the engine. But which one is best???
These are the 2 I saw on aFe that I am questioning. If K&N or S&B or anyone else has one that fits the Colorado/ Canyon, I would be interested in those as well.

There are 2 additional Magnum Force filters, but all use the same "Oil Free Filter." I think the Pro Guard 7 uses 7 layers, the 5R is 5 Layers and then there is a Dry S that has 3 layers. I don't remember what the Momentum GT was and I don't know if it said if it was oil free as well.
So, if they say they are oil free, then why do they have a restore kit that uses oil and in the instructions, it says, "Never run an aFe filter WITHOUT oil..." But you just said your filters are oil free, now I should always run oil with them? I'm confused. Thanks in advance for the help.
