Everything else aside, the cost and additional labor argues against oil wetted filter elements.

there's plenty of intakes that make power with oiled filters... and this isn't the 1940's and they quite obviously have come a long way from then until 2011 don't you think? I can tell you that I had a K&N typhoon for my Mazdaspeed 3 and felt very nice power gains out of it and it was the only intake that didn't throw a CEL like many of the other intakes out there for the Mazdaspeed.
