"cold air" intake for 09 escalade , but with dry filter?
Can't believe I'm asking about "cold air" intake......I always have visions of coffee can mufflers and 2 story wings along with it..... anyways I don't care to spend $200/300 on a pipe hose clamp and filter, and I after my last oiled filter, I really don't want that either. Do you guy's have any suggestions? I'm fine with the ebay one (like $115 I think) maybe a different filter, or where to buy. Thanks

Some guys buy the air raid tube and bolt it up to the stock air box with a K&N filter. My buddy is broke and built one out of 4 or 5" PVC tube, painted it black, and stuck an Autozone filter on it.
I have a K&N and wrapped it in thermal insulation. It's not the prettiest thing but it does help during 100+ degree weather.
Dry vs oil filter I don't really know the difference other than the oil filter might trap/catch debris a little better. Have herd some stories of camaro guys having their MAF ruined by the oil.

Yea, maybe I always used too much oil, but it always coated the inside of the tube with oil, so I would end up taking the intake off and cleaning it a few days after.

You could always use an AEM dry folw filter. They sell a replacement panel filter or a cone type they use in their brute force kits. I lucked out and found a used kit for my truck on eBay for a hundred bucks.

The truck air boxes, especially the later models are pretty decent. It's the air tube that creates flow problems. I use an Airaid MIT too. The kit I bought came with a dry drop in filter.
