Both are correct part numbers, just different filters, one oiled (blue) the other dry (gray)
The oiled has better air flow, the dry filter is if your live in a very sandy dusty environment
I am the one that verified this information for aFe Power when they had no idea the N54 was being carried in the 35/s models. aFe tech is assuming the wrong.
Also you want to check out the Carbon Fiber enclosed intake if money is not an issue

More expensive yes, but the carbon fiber repels heat better and won't get heat soaked like the aFe intake. I have them both and I know how they work
