Do you all use the Dryflow option on the AEM? As has been mentioned by others, I'm a bit shy about using an oiled filter. Especially when it comes time for me to have to re-oil it. Do you reckon using the AEM Brute Force on an otherwise stock '05 is worth much gain? Does it sound significantly different than stock?
AEM Brute Force intakes for the GTO are all dry filters, wet is not an option to the best of my knowledge. Expect around 7 to 10 HP gain, and a nice whine when punched...

Let me know what you hear from volant....I am deciding between another AEM Brute Force or Maybe giving Volant another shot....I will probally go with AEM....I found a insulated wrap that is silver and velcros around tube of intake in stylin concepts website.. I dont know....I think it would definately help me in the truck with throttle response....
VOLANT claims their car filters have a CFM rating up to 900 CFMs. Their truck filters are slightly higher.
I have the same insulation wrap on my AEM. I think it works great. Reflects any heat that your tube could pick up from the radiator. You can see part of it on my AVATAR Picture. The silver you see is the wrap and not the finish on the intake tube

Never use a oiled filter on your car. That is why I went with AEM. They have the most experience when it comes to dry filters on a CAI set up. K&N filters are designed to run wet but a lot of people use them dry.If you run a K&N dry they will lose some of their efficiency.
The AEM sounds great. As far as gains, they are all pretty simular. On a stock car you can expect anywhere from 5-10 HP ? I have had both the K&N and the AEM. I liked the AEM and stayed with it. Just my 2 cents worth.
