I used both, any difference that may exist is imperceptible. The choice is thus a matter of esthetics and ease of cleaning, if applicable.

Michael from Rotofab says in the thread I linked that the Dry filter flows more than the Wet.

Here is another thread from way back when Jenetty did a bunch of performance parts testing on the SS. He specifically states the Dry is better. Pray Performance has also said the Dry was better based on his testing after this. Now feel free to contact both of them if need be.

Basically Rotofab claimed more HP from oiled and was proven wrong by independent testing at the track, dyno, and flow bench.

I've already said that it's not going to be a big difference either way...just trying to kill the internet myth that claims oiled filters are better.

I don't need to contact anyone on this. The difference between them is within the margin of error. However, the Email received by the OP from Rotofab says the wet filter flows more and that coincides with every other filter manufacturer's flow data as well. Oiled is better, period UNLESS you don't want to maintain it yourself. In that case a dry filter is better if you want to replace them regularly.

Wrong...I posted the data that supports what I have claimed.

You certainly have the receipts to back this up.

I am not going to argue with Jannitty Racing.

Even Rotofab was admitting their claim that the oil gave an advantage was not solid...which says it all.

Now that the community has been reminded of this we can make a more informed choice on which one we want.

Thank you.

LOL, 3 WHOLE HP you say? And you don't realize that's within the margin of error on a 650hp vehicle?

And there's plenty of data to support otherwise, you're not even using your head here, you're just being stubborn for the sake of not ever wanting to admit you're wrong about something and this topic has come up before and you always proclaim dry is superior even when you feely admit the difference between the wet and dry filters is not big either way, but the reality is, it depends on how much air you're trying to pull through those filters. At near stock levels, both filters flow ENOUGH, at higher HP levels, a wet filter flows more air period, so its going to make a bigger difference in a higher HP vehicle.

Some light reading about flow of dry vs oiled.

And here's another manufacturer, which one says maximum performance and which one says maximum convenience? Hell, the oiled filter even has more layers and still flows more than the dry filter.

And another filter manufacturer...

Oh, and one more for good measure, but what does K&N know?

Oddly, there's no dry filter option for the Rotofab Big Gulp which is their highest performing cold air intake for these cars. You can however get a dry filter in their lower flowing standard Rotfab intake. Wonder why that is...

Dry filters exist for two purposes, they filter particulates slightly better when new and they're disposable. Wet filters flow MORE air volume and flow more air consistently as they get used than a dry filter and of course they can be maintained forever.

Hi OP here, I ordered the Dry , with extra element . Thanks for all your insight. I'm keeping the Car stock , at least for the next couple years , so if I decide to do any mods, replacing the dry element with an oiled one , I'm sure there the same dimensions.

So stop reading them and move on, Mr. Post Police. You haven't contributed anything since you've been here so that makes 100% of yours useless.
