Filter design is a delicate balancing act, the overall goal of creating a good air filter is to find the ideal combination of flow, filtration efficiency, and holding capacity. There is a difference between simply making a unit that fits in a factory intake box and engineering a performance air filter.
Some air filters are constructed with cotton or synthetic media combined with oil to increase filtering ability. This can increase flow, however, it also means more difficult filter maintenance because of the need to properly re-oil the filter. GrimmSpeed decided to use a dry-construction media, utilizing two different layers of synthetic material with varied filtering and flow abilities, resulting in a very similar flow capability to the oiled media, while maintaining the same filtering efficiency as the OEM paper filter.
In order to properly evaluate the performance gains of The GrimmSpeed Dry-Con Air Filters, they did multiple wide open throttle pulls with the OEM air filter, then the same with the Dry-Con unit. GrimmSpeed saw a solid 9 ft/lbs of torque difference and a consistent 6 whp gain from 5400rpm until redline with the GrimmSpeed filters.
