Yes, the oiled version does flow better according to AFE, although the dry version is more efficient.

Since the filter is within the engine's air flow requirements, there isn't a hp or tq diff. If the filter is flowing at or near the limit, we may see a little diff between the two filters.

With the dry filter, there is one less step with no oil required.
