There is TONS of sceintific evidence to back this up,especially military testing that proves this. Lots of flow bench testing, and pressure drop testing. Its very easy to get confused and works in favor of K&N to talk about Oiled vs Dry becasue the construction is never consistent across the board for a true and accurate measure. Given an equal measure, dry filters out flow oiled ones everytime.
Okay... dude, use whatever makes you happy

If you have any of that data you mentioned handy, I'd be interested to see it.

You gave me the AEM sales pitch and I responded with an interesting table they used to have on their website that points to an alternate conclusion -- at least with less than 120 grams of dirt packed on the filter.

Again, that graph did not come from K&N -- it came from AEM. If it's inaccurate, blame them, but it clearly shows that their filter media is superior in flow only with 120 grams or more dirt packed on.
