Question Intake question

So I've been doing some reading and searching and reading some more. Basically I've narrowed my choice down to either an AFE stage II or the Ford AIS extreme duty. Anyone have either or any opinions to make me change my mind? Any input is welcome.

No opinions? You're gonna make me go at it alone... Well, it wouldn't be the first time.

I started with the 6637 open element but came across a good deal on the AFE Stage II and haven't looked back. Ford AIS would be ideal for lots of time spent in extremely dusty areas. But with any open filter like the AFE, you'll hear the dreaded surge much, much more. Been happy with my AFE. Cant beat the "whoosh" when getting off the throttle..

That's kinda what I was thinking, thanks for the input. Now what to do first, exhaust or intake?

I have the AFE Big Boost filter on my F250, and the AFE Stage 2 on my Excursion. Both are nice, but I prefer the Big Boost.

I've always started with Intake...hence the 6637 due to cost.
