One is a dry flow filter, and the other one is oiled. Dry is better imho on MAF equipped vehicles because putting too much oil can contaminate the MAF and cause problems.

All my customers with the Takeda intake go with the oiled one. They haven't complained about it yet..

I have one left in stock for you sir!
