I am looking at replacing the stock OEM air filters, I did not want to go K&N do to Oil and I feel with all the R&D now days they should not still be using oil base filters.

Does anyone have the mines filters? also I unable to find any specs on them if they are an dry flow or oil base like K&N.

Mines - VX Air Filter are the name 370ZTUNE.com has them listed but no specs.

Also will be doing the COBB Post MAF Hoses for smoother air flow.

I wouldnt waste your money on the mines filter. Waayyy overpriced.

Well, there is not to much out there for stock replacement. If they are dry flow I would pay the money. I do not want K&N.

Any reason why you wouldn't go with K&N? You won't really gain much, if any. The stock intake is already a CAI, so I understand why you would like to keep it. For the amount the VX filters usually go by, over $350 (last time a looked a few weeks back) you could buy a long tube or replace the airbox. I was a little hesitant on using the K&N at first, but really, oil based filters are just as good as long as you know how to oil it properly. The VX also uses oil.

I think you should do your own DD on the K&N filters and not go by what you heard on the internet. K&N has sold over a million filters and I dont think a million cars have been screwed up by them. Just saying. But I do understand personal preference.

I have the AFE Pro-Dry filters and the Cobb Post-MAF tubes with my stock airboxes. Works great, no issues and a decent boost in kick in the higher rpms that I have noticed (nothing huge, but noticeable).

That's the setup I'm shooting for, but I'm going to milk my stock air filters for a little while longer.

At 7000 miles mine were already dirty and there was a HUGE leaf in front of my passenger side intake. Found all of that out when I put the AFEs in. Maybe I gained power since I went anti-leaf, lol

Anyways, you might pull the filters and check them. Can always buy the AFEs when the others need replacing.
