My last Injen CAI had a red filter as well. I am not sure if they have a deal with K&N with there filter parts, or if Injen just happens to shadow the K&N look because people are so familiar with their product. I would recommend getting a hydro-shield with the winter time coming up; they are fairly inexpensive, and it is worth the piece of mind. I do also know that when I spoke to Injen about cleaning the filter, they said I could actually use the recharge kit made by K&N. So take it for what it's worth. Either way, you have a good lasting filter!

um... that I'm not too sure... never use after-market filter yet...(going to update stock next summer...^^)
but for what I understand... it should be oil filter and dry filter....
For dry filter, you simply replace everything it's dirty...
For oil type, you can wash it with the cleaning kit and re-apply oil to it once it's dry....
No idea about the performance difference them...^^

^ Just make sure when you re-oil the "wet" filter, you do not over do it. Too much can lead to gumming up the MAF sensor, and causing more harm then good! Just lightly spray it with the oil, and do not saturate it.
