      With my car specifically, the intake was designed to take a filter without oil because my maf sensor could be damaged by it. Unfortunately my maf sensor is 800 & theres two types its a 50/50 chance you get the right one cuz no one will help you find out which ones the right one + no returns once youve attempted to try it out

    Keep your stock system and regular replaceable filter! Too many isssues with these filters and the “cold air intake “ systems not sealing well/at all. You will not save any money on this. (Expensive cost up front, $10 cleaning kit, and then a half days work to clean or “recharge” your air filter). Ur not gonna see any HP gains or anything either so save your money, save your time, save your engine, and keep the stock system
