Homemade Intake Question
Just installed a Napa 6637 filter on my truck in place of the stock setup... took about 10 minutes. My question is what do I do with the temp inlet probe that was in the side of the filter box? Is it still necessary?

I have read that some of you guys are making your own tymar type setup with 4" exhaust pipe and donaldson filters. I'm wondering if you need to coat the inside of the pipe to prevent rusting and corrosion. It seems that moister would wreak havoc on the inside and outside of the pipe.

Well, the pipe that you'll have laying around will either be stainless or aluminized, both will stand up fine to the miniscule amounts of moisture that make it past the filter.
You can use 4" PVC if you're not comfortable with steel.

Some of those intakes sure are expensive. Spent $39.95 for my filter, $4.99 for a 45degree pvc elbow, and about ten minutes install time. The pvc elbow fit perfectly in the stock intake tube and filter.

im giving my opinion cookie, dont like tough crap.
Napa's part number is 6637. Baldwins part number is PA 2818, Donaldson's part number is BO85011, and Internationals part number is AH 1141.
Notice anything missing there? A Purolator part number maybe. Perhaps you will be kind enough to post the part number for the approiately sized Purolator filter if you can find it. purolator website
