"wet" or "dry" cold air intake?

[thadoggma]

i have a off brand intake for my car, i just got done cleaning with the k&n cleaner kit. stuff works wonders but i dont know if i need to oil it or not. how do i tell if its a wet or dry filter? i would post a picture, but i cant seem to figure out how to.

Post a picture. There are "off brands" that are not paper filter. Such as Spectre and AEM (unless it's the new AEM DryFlo, which are pretty obvious).

no not a k&n, doesnt even have a brand name.

Click "Go Advanced" and you can attach a picture. Or just host it on www.tinypic.com and copy and paste the URL.

hopefully that will work...

it doesnt look like a paper type filter... its made of woven fabric of some sort.

i wouldnt worry about oiling it....

just oil it VERY LITTLE... like give it one full spray and done! slap it on the pipe.
