Question Air filter

I screwed up when I first got my truck and bought the K&N cold air intake. I was wondering if there is another filter that will fit in its place without changing the whole cold air intake. Thanks

I made the same mistake as you (before I discovered this forum and the path to F250 PSD Righteousness). Do like I did, bite the bullet, de-install the K&N and install the 6637 mod. You'll be glad you did !

Just incase you haven't seen the 6637 filter here it is. I have it wraped with one of Pete's filter covers.



And this is the big view of the filter.

Is your intake tube 4"? Look at how the filter sets in there. It touches the battery box and the brake fluid reservoir.

I don't know what the K & N filter looks like.

Nice looking setup and looks like the way to go. Id bet it will have to increase power and mpg? Any tests been done on that as i know its popular? The stock system looks to me like its the same size as my old Ranger! Anything should be better than that

If the K&N tube is 4" OD, you could just slide the 6637 right over it, and clamp it in place. Here's what mine looks like with a piece of 4" OD SS exhaust as an adapter:

Sell that K&N to some unsuspecting sap and take the money and buy 2 6637's and your girlfriend/wife to a big dinner.

I don't think I could tell the difference in power, but the noise is great. I put the 6637 in at the same time I started useing DK, and had a 1 mpg gain. Might be the combo together that did this.

If you go to napa, carquest, etc. the wix part number is 546637. You can get them cheaper at FleetFilter.com search for part # 46637.
