AFE or Tymar intake

What is the better intake system for my 1997 f350 Tymar or AFE? I narrowed it to these to filter and want to know what you's thought. I can’t wait to get rid of the stock box. Thanks

Depends if ya wanna spend 300+ or less than 150. Both are very good but I cant see the AFE's worth at twice the cost. I'd go with Tymar.

I second that. I have had my Tymar in for a year and it still looks brand new. Easy to install for half the cost and problem works and filters just as well.

I like the kwik filter mod, less than $50.
You can see it here:

A piece of exhast tube and the filter. The hardest part is removing the stock air box.

If you get a Baldwin filter...or the Tymar set-up it (the filter) is some what water repellant. As long as you get the filter spaced back away from the hood seam and ya don't drive through 4' of water you'll be ok! LOL
It would almost need to be submerged in water to do damage.
