tymar intake
Ok, I found the filter number for the tymar one at napa (6637). However they are not cheap for a paper filter almost $50. I did search, several times in fact, the tymar intake (homemade and not). The first time I looked at swapping out my K&N drop-in filter the tymar filter from napa I thought I remembered it being around $25 or so. Is my napa raping me or is that the norm cost everyone else is getting them for. The other question is what makes that filter better than a reuseable one like K&N or AirRaid? Volume of air or filtering down to so small of microns...?

From fleetfilter.com: 46637 Air Filter $24.86. The drop in K&N has sealings problems. Alot of people do not like reusable filters (K&N, AFE, etc) The 6637 flows 425 CFM. Personal preference.

The tymar is a paper filter vs. the re-usable units are. Smaller dust and dirt particles can enter into the turbo and cause significant problems down the road. Its a sense of security you get when you run the tymar set-up. And when you look into how much the system costs it really isn't even any comparison to how much a K&N set-up will cost ya. good luck and hope this helps!

P.S.- K&N drop in filters are garbage! don't waste your time with them.

Good point Steve, I never looked at it that way. I know the system isn't $27. I just need the filter. How many miles do ya'll get from the filter. Normal driving. No off road no dirt roads, I think I covered them all.

I have had my filter for a little over 10,000 miles and no performance loss yet. Its a great setup for farmers and ranchers that see dirt road conditions everyday.

I have about 25,000 miles on mine, its about 1 year old and its getting to the point where I think I should replace it. Someone posted here that they notice a 1-2 mpg decreace after 10,000 miles.
The fleet filters really get you on shipping charges. I think when I looked it would cost as much as just buying one from napa. I guess it gets cheaper when your buy 2 or 3 at the same time.

I work at a NAPA and we sell the 6637 for about $43. I have the NAPA 6637 on my truck and change it about every 12,000 - 14,000 miles and there is a very noticable change in performance. but then again I do a mixture of on and offroad driving and we also have very high humidity here so the dust seems to stick a little worse too. also I would take this setup any day over the stock airbox with a dropin k&n filter that was in it when I bought the truck, any day of the week and twice on sunday.
