I'm coming up to 5000 miles and thinking about changing my air filter.

What's the difference between "Pro Dry S" and "Pro 5 R"?
Do I need 1 filter or 2?
Also in the description "Washable and reusable for multiple cleaning cycles". What is the proper method to clean?

You will need two filters, one for each air intake. The Pro 5 R is an oiled filter. Personally, I don't think its worth the trouble and most go with the dry filters.

Cleaning is easy for the dry filters. Knock out the dirt, rinse them if necessary,let them dry, then reinstall. Oiled filters are a bit or complicated. As you have to remove the oil and then re-oil them after cleaning. (They sell cleaner kits, but Simple Green works just fine.) Hence, the reason most stick with dry filters.

Thank you for taking the time to fully explain!

You need two filters for our cars. Pro 5 r is thier oiled version, skip it, get the dry S,... And ignore the comments of not being able to feel it. You will notice better breathing and throttle response right off the bat. There are plenty of dynos on this website including mine from dropin with good gain all throught the power band. Add HPS tubes to these drop in and your making very close to what a full cai is making for a 4th of the price. jordo has some very good dyno plots posted about these

Afe 31-10196 is the filter kit with both if you shop amazon. Best price

Interesting. Amazon has a drop down check to see if the above fits my car and I'm getting a warning that it does not (2015). The AFE site says it does fit and the numbers match. Just an observation for anyone else that may be looking.
