I want to get CIA but being the filter oiled in K&N makes it not option for me due to the dusty weather and environment in Saudi Arabia

The AEM uses a paper filter, not an oil filter.

Thats good,, then is it washable or you just replace it periodically?

I have the same AEM CAI on my 4.7. I gat a slight whistle when i am cruising around 1500 RPM. Anyone else ever get this and if so any tips on what in could be. I have double checked everything and it is all tight and secure. Any help would greatly appreciated

So Ive had the commander for less than a week now, I figure its about time to do a couple of things.

3. Really excited to put my intake on. Was going to wait, but to change the plugs, I will have to take off the air box, so might as well.

Ill put some pics and some numbers up, any quick tips for me?

Did any of you guys notice any mpg improvements?

I had the AEM Brute Force in my Dodge Ram for about 4 years. The filter is washable and AEM makes a solution to wash it with. Its pretty easy to wash and I would do it about every 20,000 miles depending on where you live. The solution comes with easy step by step instructions and Im pretty sure you can buy it from jegs.com. Loved the AEM, I have a 3.7 in my commander so I dont have the option to get the AEM.

I've got the "whistle" as well - but I've got a self-built 4" from Spectre parts (see my profile for pics). It's actually coming from your throttle body and is related to throttle position/air flow over the VAF (Vane Air Flow). I change the configuration of my intake quite a bit (change angles, length,etc..) and where the filter end is at determines if I hear it at all. W/the stock intake you'll never hear it because of the resonator up top and the stock box @ the bottom.

Just a question. I am about to install my aem intake on my 4.7 tomorrow but my only concern is since the directions tell you to remove the entire housing for the filter, will that endanger my intake from picking up mud or water? There won't be a bottom cover so I was just wanting to to know if anyone else had this issue.
