From what I've seen none filter like OEM, from my experience in multiple platforms, if you still are able to run the OEM box run a OEM filter, if due to modifications you cannot use the stock box, or mod it to make it work, then look at aftermarket.

Hell, I've retro fitted OEM air boxes from different manufacturers IOT retain a quality filter when modifications to the intake tract required it.

In all my years I've never seen a OEM filter as a big enough restriction to warrant aftermarket.

Every manufacturer will say other wise.

When I've needed an aftermarket filter I only use dry though, oiling is a pain, cleaning every couple of weeks is a pain and I've seen issues down stream of the filter from excess oil.
