I'm planning to replace the stock intake in my 2005 GTO A4 with a new Cold Air Intake before I install a Corsa Sport Performance Exhaust. Which would be better overall comparing the K&N FIPK to the K&N Typhoon Kit?
What's the difference between a dry filter system and an oiled system? I've also been considering the AEM Brute Force CAI. So far I installed a K&N Air Filter. Should I have gone with another brand?

The dry system ostensibly provides more flow and does not clog your throttle body with blow by oil from the filter. Truthfully, I think the difference is moderate at best.
If you have the K&N already installed don’t sweat it; they make a good system too…

Thanks for all of your help! I think I will give the AEM CAI a try. Right now the only thing I did when I got my car was tint it (slight mirror that reflects 63% Heat), replaced the stock air filter with a K&N Replacement Air Filter for the OEM intake, and installed Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season Tires.

A drop in filter is a good idea but if you want a complete system go with the AEM set up. These sysyems use a larger tube then K&N plus the filter on the AEM has a CFM rating of 1350 . The filter on the K&N has a CFM rating of 650. Your car will only draw in as much air as the ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM calls for, but it is nice to know that if you have a stock car or a bulit car the filter system will be up to the task of drawing as much air as it needs.
