Default Dryflow or oiled filter

I've seen many discussions on the pros and cons of the much hyped oiled air filters. I have not seen too many people talk about the dryflow(non-oiled)cone style air filters. Are there any members using these? Are they better/worse than the oiled? I'm in the process of mocking up a new intake and need to feed back.

Thanks.
Scott

Cone filters are pretty much the same media as the flat OEM filters but in a different shape. No advantage.

A big DISadvantage is deleting the factory cold air intake in order to fit a cone filter.

Go oiless, oiled filters have been known to prematurely kill maf sensors. I've always ran oiless in my builds.
