well I found this company

ITG Air Filters US Distributor - Profilters, Maxogen and Megaflow Air Filters : ITG Profilters

No oil needed for the profilter version. No user experience and not sure what car model we are talking about so I can't tell you if they have your car.

Oh, sorry I was not suggesting installing a cold air intake. It brought to mind maybe using wide diameter steel tubing leading to your air box so the engine doesn't have to fight to pull the air. That said I don't know what your current piping looks like so it might not matter.
