I had my intake tubes off just recently to install the WW and i checked for dirt or dust and clean as a whistle. I,m satisfied with the s-b intake so far.

My factory muffler rusted through so I put in a 4" turbo back performance system with the AIS intake and cut a hole in the bulkhead in front of the AIS snorkel intake. On winter fuel it looks like I gained 4 mpg freeway driving if I keep the rpm's below 1900(22mpg). Prior to this the best I ever got was 19 mpg on summer fuel. These mods are probably the most cost effective and give the most bang for the buck.

It sounds like the 6637 and a cold air box will be the ticket. If i can figure out how to do that.

The 6637 is a good filter, and a cover from Pete makes a nice touch. A cold air box isn't required, but if that's what you want they're not that difficult to make.

There's also a link in my sig for the one I built. There's a template on page 5 if you need it.

I have a 6637 with a Pete's cover it works well for me isn't too loud and does a great job. You can also get a AFE 6637 for about a 100 bucks that is rechargeable Bdrummonds has one.

I like the advice men thanks. Looks like the way to go. And the exhaust system sounds like a good idea. Put one on my old ranger years ago and was happy with it. I have to have smog checks here on a dyno so i guess i have to be carefull what i do! Thanks joe
