I had some of the same concerns about CAI kits. I settled for a kit with the Donaldson Powercore Dry filter which actually filters better than your stock filter, yet with more airflow. I also run flat K&N filters in my other cars which do not filter as well, but I'm not concerned. recently had gaskets replaced on my minivan at 135k, which runs a flat K&N filter in ther stock box. Mechanic said he's never seen a cleaner engine with over 100k miles before (Inside) and that I'm good for another 150k. I use synthetic oil and change it every 3k. So bottom line, my experience with oiled cotton filters has been good, and if you're still nervous, by any cold ait kit you want and get the Donaldson Powercore filter as a replacement for the cone media that comes in the CAI kit. Donaldson makes filters for numerous industrial applications, and they know what they're doing.
