6637 filter with screen inside

Does anyone know which one of the 6637 style filters has the screen inside? I know most of them don't, but I was thinking there was one that does.

Bill - the only two 6637s I've ever bought both had the inner mesh - luckily. Both are made by Baldwin. One came from FleetFilter (Baldwin PA2818 Air Filter: FleetFilter Secure Online Store) and one came from Clay (riffraff).

I wonder if Baldwin is the only one that does the inner mesh.

I don't know. I know the Duralites don't have it. Thanks for the part#s JP. I don't wanna put one back in without it.

Agreed! I guess it was just dumb luck that mine have the screen. Those images of turbos swallowing whole filters are terrible!

LOL!! If I was, I musta forgot about it! LOL! And it probably would have been from my buddy at Napa that got me a good deal on mine, but I'm not using those anymore.....they don't have the inner screen. I guess I'll order one from Clay.

About two years ago Clay had a special on so I bought two. I put the second one on the mule last winter and just looked at it. NO WIRE INSIDE!

These are pics of what I bought at NAPA this one was about 4 years old when I replaced it as you can see there is no mesh inside. It certainly seems like a good idea to have the mesh. Bill has mesh inside It's good to hear you are doing well Bill, and be careful though and remember it will talk to you, but you have to listen.

I knew someone was talking about me.....my ears were burning ...LOL

I am still running the K&N filter until I find a large filter that does have the wire on the inside.
The road dust is not a big issue where I live and I do not do any off road ding.

But....I will never run a air filter on my truck that does not have wire on the inside. That was one hard lesson for me.

Glad you are doing so well Bill...I was on the couch for 7 days...before starting to move around...Told ya....I was a Big WOO WOO

I guess I should look at my filter too. I bought the special from Clay last time I bought filters. In fact, I'm pretty sure I still have one new one left. I'll take a look at mine when I get to the shop this morning.
