Default What air filter for Joe Z intake pipe?

If i put in a JoeZ intake pipe, would a K&N air filter work well with it? or even the stock OEM disposable ones?

either or. there's simply not enough of a discernable notice between the two to favor one over the other.

Decide whether you want a dry filter or an oiled filter. Performance and functionality-wise, there isn't a significant difference.

the gains are negligible for a drop in filter. a dry filter is a safer choice if you want a lifetime one(HKS) but the OEM will filter particles better. not worth it to foul your MAF sensor.
