My google fu is ok, but I'm having trouble finding direct comparisons of AEM, aFe & Airaid dry replacement drop-in panel filters.
I have the Airaid Synthamax, which came with my MIT Jr. kit. However, it appears to only flows 539cfm dirty & 820 cfm new...and that is with a larger filter. That could be a bottleneck on a 6.0. The AEM seems to be the best at flow and filtering. I can't seem to find out much about the aFe.

aFe: http://afepower.com/technology_detail.php?tech_id=8
Airaid: http://www.airaid.com/air_filtration_technology.aspx (says for dusty conditions to use their oiled filter)

The AEM is about half the price of the others. AEM is now owned by K&N.
Which is the best dry filter for max filtering, dust capacity & flow?
For what it is worth, I ordered the AEM 28-20129 drop in replacement panel off Amazon.
