It is just a paper filter made by WIX or NAPA. Should be better at trapping dirt than a K&N filter and doesn't need to be oiled.
Do a search for Tymar and you can read more, but here is the short of it.
Cheap (cost effective
) intake upgrade. Remove part of your airbox and install this filter. More air means something different to everyone. MPG/Power/Sound/lower EGT, take your pick.
Only need filter and short piece fo 4" exhasut and a clamp.
you can get the filter here
FleetFilter.com
And Pete make a cool cover for it too!

I would deff take that K&N fitler off and put a 6637 MOD filter. It will trap alot more dirt then the K&N and potentially save u some turbo troubles down the road. BTW i second petes filter covers. Id go down to the 7.3 forum and ask for him to make you one. They are pretty nice.

The S & B air box has a cover.......I bet I could fit that the 6637 into the box and shove it on the 4" pipe that comes into the airbox, don't know, I will look into it. Thanks for the advice. I wondered how much those K & N style filters did anyway and thought a disposable one would be eaier than messing with the "oil".

How does the Airaid system compare? It was on the X I just bought and looks a lot like the cone type K&Ns.

I have an AFE stage 1 and just had to really clean it after 20K. Is there a replacement paper filter for that box???I really did notice a difference after adding that set-up. On my 7.4L 'Burb,I had a K&N and it didn't seem to help,so I replaced it with a HD Fram and there was a difference then.

I've read it's a fun job removing the foil, so I'm eager to do it, yet dreading it if you know what I mean......

Even with the high diesel prices, you will never regret the 7.3l.....IMHO! But I have to say, I'm actively looking into BioDiesel.......another great benefit!
