Quick question and opinion brothers and sisters . I am just waiting back to here from DOC on shipping for the intake to Ontario Canada . I also want to change my filter to AFE none oil and scrap the K@N . So i don't have to clean the MAF every 3 months . Good idea ? Nice match up ? Thanks :bb:

I like the KN for the street use the air flow is superior. But for offroading in the dusty condition it will allow allot of dirt threw. I think that AFE will give you better filtered air.

Just a quick question . I am waiting to hear back from DOC on prices for shipping his intake to Canada . I want to also change my filter to AFE none oil and scrap my K@N . Tired of cleaning the MAF every 3 months . ( Ok that might be a bit dramatic . But you get the picture ) . Good idea and match with the AirDoc ? Thanks :horns:

Yes i know . I just ordered the AFE . I need to find the shipping cost to the Great White North for the intake . Now if i use my PayPal it says charges will be different for shipping outside U.S. , which i know . Should i just order it for what the price says now ? And DOC will just add the few extra bucks on the Paypal when he ships it ? On the site it says contact us by phone also . Can't see any number there . I am itching to order !! Lol .

Been running the dry AFE for almost 3 years with the Airdoc. Great combination for dusty offroad trails as the AFE is easy to wash/clean and it's as good as new. I don't like using an oily K&N here in Arizona as the trails here are really dusty and quickly clog-up the filter.

I had a K&N oil type filter on my first H3 and I will never again have that!! it caused too many issues and almost caused me to get in an accident quite a few times. because the oil would trip the MAF and cause the H3 to go into limp mode at the most awful times, like merging into heavy traffic and attempting to pass on the freeway.

I personally will NEVER go with any type of "wet" filter. I had too many issues with the TB and the MAF. that is just my experience and my 2c

oh any any issues that arise from that filter are not covered by your warranty, meaning that if the dealer determines that the K&N filter oil messed up ANYTHING they have the option to deny you warranty coverage for that issue

Howdy fellas. Got some emails from JohnnySpikes asking for shipping prices to Ontario, but for some weird reason they did not show up in our inbox until the overnight hours??? Last thing I do when leaving work is check email.

So now that I know what Air Doc Intake Johnny is interested in ..... I will shoot a shipping quote to him. That border cross jacks the rate, not distance, Heck, I can see Ontario out the back window of my house across the lake. :cheers:

Anyways, the AFE Pro-Dry S filters are an excellent choice, I have one in my 07 right now. The AFE Pro-Dry S series of filters, at least all the variations we tested for several trucks, are quality pieces and flow very well.
However, I ran over 45K miles with the K&N and had ZERO issues. Have several other vehicles with K&Ns in them, zero issues.
