air intake advice
I own an '02 F-350 7.3, with 60,000 miles. I am considering a new air intake system. I have considered an S&B and AIS. What do you recommend? I want a system that protects the engine from dust and other contaminants, yet produces an increase in air flow. I do not want a system that will jeopardize the longevity of the engine or create unwanted problems. After modifying the air intake, I plan on an exhaust system, gauges then some sort of chip or tuner. Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Almost, the 6637 has been posted as being within 1ppm of silicone or so of the AIS.
For price you cant beat the 6637 but you may get a liitle drone $40.00.
For quiet and clean you cant beat the AIS $200.00

Intake Air
Whats your thoughts of the Baldwin PA2818. (My stock system was letting in traces of dust.) I then went to the K&N Open Air, then read more than I really wanted to know about the K&N. I recently switched from the K&N open air to the Baldwin. It's alot bigger than the others.
Thanks Joe

Aaron I'll post since I have the S&B. I'm a little miffed. I just posted about it the other day. I tried one of their filters out for about the last 6 months and just got my blackstone report the other day. Silicon should be single digits like 3,4 . . . I had 23.
(Its silicon as in sand, not silicone, as in caulking) sorry. The spelling geek in me got to me there. I'm thinking AIS as soon as this hole in my wallet closes back up.

Thanks for all the input. One more question. I have read about a Tymar air intake. How does that comapre to the Napa 6637? And is the Tymar a system a novice can install?

I can guaranty my AFE flows 30% more air then your tymar, not to mention everytime you change your filter it sets you back $30-40... when I clean mine it costs me $5-7...
