A penny for your thoughts on "dry" after market air filters...

Hello, I just did the deckplate mod and want to make sure I am doing the best I can at filtering the extra air the intake is providing. AmSoil doesnt make one for the 3.4 V6?!! A friend reccomends the PureFlow but those are extinct. 99% sure I do not want to go K&N so... I think there is a high end dry filter out there I am forgetting about. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Any OEM style replacement filter should flow more air than your engine is ever going to need (unless you have S/C with a lot more boost than the TRD blower). Since performance is limited by engine design (displacement, heads, cams, etc. - not the airbox) I'd go for whatver filter provides the best, safest filtering. I'm much more concerned about longevity and reliability than I am non-existent HP gains from high-performance aftermarket filters.
 
What about the bonus of just being able to clean it and not replace it every....however long a filter lasts. That's a cost bonus?
 
Fram works good and just replace it every other oil change. Like said before you will not gain anything it and high end filter. I used to like K&N but threw them all out years ago. Deck plate mod just makes more noise and maybe less MPG
 
I'm surprised AEM hasn't been mentioned. I'm pretty sure they were the originators of the dry-flow filter. They should have a drop in filter too
 
You can buy a WIX filter for ~$20 at any parts store. WIX is endorsed and distributed by AMSOIL.
It's what I use with my supercharger/deckplate mod.

AMSOIL - WIX Oil and Air Filters

I have used WIX exclusively in everything from lawn mowers to BMW's since the 1970's. NAPA sells WIX and they are just down the road from me so I get all my filters there. You can't improve our V6 with a filter, you can only screw it up.
 
I just ordered a AFE Pro Dry S filter today. I got it for $45 shipped on Autoanything.com. They are having a sale right now and if you enter code PBEB3 it will take an extra 15% off.
