Rampage, is that a stage 2 system? Does the AFE need cleaning like the K&N?

Gene it would be easier for you to compare the different filters mentioned than waste the rest of your life trying to discredit one!
I will be on the dyno in Oct. If you want filters tested send them to me. I will pay to dyno them. Then for the disbelievers, I WILL SPIN THE ROLLERS WITH NO FILTER!
I'll ship your filter back to you.

isn't there somebody running dual 6637's? I thought I saw a pic of dual 6637's with the battery relocated.

If his AFE puts down bigger numbers you will buy his AFE. But just remember dyno's aren't perfect. do more than one run on the same say for each filter.

Here's an example: A few weeks ago I was at the race track, and one of the guys there runs a low 14 second OBS PSD with a Tymar filter, and I believe he also has the D66. During the day he accidently spilled a bunch of water all over the filter, so he took it off to make more runs. His times didn't change. If it was really that restrictive, he would have seen better E/T's at the track with the filter removed.
Also I've had that filter on my truck and made numerous drives to the SC, TX, and LA coastlines (summer time humidity well over 90% all the time) and it has never affected the 6637 filter. Also driving in the rain it never got wet. The only time water can do any damage is if you spill a lot of it directly on the filter. But then again, that would do the same amount of damage to any paper filter.

Here's another way to think about it: If the 6637 is so "restrictive", based on size alone, the stock paper element must make the truck think it's trying to suck air through a phone book.

I don't know, nor frankly do I care, how all this CFM crap is generated. What I do know is that your turbo can not draw enough air to need more than the 6637 can provide. Like you said earlier, switching to the AFE won't make a dang bit of difference.
Tim. I think that dual 6637 pic was of a Cummins....but it's been a couple of years since I've seen it.
