Dealer advises to watch out for CAI aftermarkets due to oil from the filter being sucked in and effecting sensors.

Any advice for a good Camaro 2010 CAI kit for the V8 that only uses a dry filter system?

 

What the dealer says is partially true. Most (if not all) oil-based air filters suggest that you only put a very thin coat of oil on the filter. As a lot of people think "if a little is good, a lot is better" and that is not always the case. I am sure that if you completely soak the filter...sure, some oil will make it to the sensor but you would really have to overdo it, IMO.

I don't know of a good dry filter system off the top of my head, though.

 

I put a dry one on from roto-fab, comes with oil or dry, dry is $12.00 extra and is washable, do not have any issues yet and was easy to install, no codes.

 

As Jason mentioned the oil based filters really require a hearty "over-do-it" application for any to pass through and affect the MAF, etc...

In general the oil coated filters will produce more power while the non-oil are slightly easier to maintain. If you follow the directions from the K&N recharge kit it is hard to mess up on the oil filers IMO. Hope that helps.

 

i went with airiad.works great. no problems.

 

Thanks group...appreciate the info!

 

I went with RC2 cold air intake system,Has dry filter that just uses
compressed air to clean.Performs great!

 

+1 for R2C!!
