That is the 6637 mod you see in lots of peoples sigs. That is a popular mod in this fourm. You can get the 6637 filter at NAPA for around 50 bucks. I didn't notice what the price they were asking on that site, but I am sure you can get the parts cheaper.

EDIT: I just looked again, they are explaining how to install the 6637. I used a 3" dwv pvc coupling instead of the exhaust pipe to install mine. That is good instructions.

Yes Thats the 6637 Napa filter (Kwik) filter mod. a lot of people on this site have done. There is also a filter cover for the 6637. You can get that same filter from Fleet Filter .com for about 36.00 shipped. Thats what my last one was about 6 months ago. Good Luck!!!

Absolutely. Plus you get the turbo whoosh you normally don't hear.

So the OD on the 3" coupler was close to the 4" size? I dont have any 4" exhaust laying around. I installed a 5" on my truck

Yes, it works perfect, just buy another clamp for the filter side. If you look in my gallery you will see some of the fitting under the filter cover.

Just tie wrap the sensor to the break line under the break cylinder.

It gives you better air flow. I have done it on both of my psd's, but didnt use the coupler pipe. My intake tube slides over the filter with a little effort, maybe alot of effort!

It'll make your truck into a fire breathin' dragon!! Well, not quite but like Marc says it will give better air flow. Worth every penny, compaired to other air intakes.

Why do they call it a "conical" style filter? It's a cylinder.

Ask Gene I am sure he could explain. He called his old "worthless" filter setup a conical. I see you were in on that thread too IIRC. I gave up after the second page of 12ish
