Which Filter for rainy conditions?
So I will be moving from dry Colorado to the Tacoma WA. area soon, where I guess it rains like all year long. I run the stock airbox with the lower drivers side cut out and a dry drop-in AEM filter.
Would you go to an oiled filter for the wet conditions or stay with a dry one?

shouldnt matter if you got the stock box with just the bottom or drivers' side cut out. water comes from the top if you dont have the hood seal, and from the front if you are driving fast in the rain. or, if you dont have the fender cover in the wheel well i suppose you might get a little in from the sides on splash.
but, you should be fine with either assuming... |

Dry one because the oiled doesn't really make that much of a difference in wet and dry allows for better airflow.
