Tell me about it, i couldn't belive a filter that size would fit in a truck. When Dave and i put mine on it was (is) so cool going down the road hearing that swooshing sound lol.

The only drawback to the 6637 is the drone it makes. However, it can be cured by yet another mod- homemade cold air box. There is a good write-up here in the forums for it.

I love the whistle & sound of the van turbo & WW with the 6637. Still have the AIS sitting on the shelf for now since they both have the same filtration results on my used oil analysis reports.

Once you have purchased and installed, let me know what you think. I also have an airraid.

Just get a S & B air box and you'll have it all! You just clean the filter with the same cleaner and oil from the K & N, and you'll never have to buy a 6637 again.

I got the K&N cold air intake. One day I was messin around and took the filter off and went around the block my truck definatly ran better. Most of the guys here told me that the 6637 would be better than the K&N. I will get to it one of these days. So many mods so little money

I love my filter and it really looks good with the PETE filter on it and the sound is awesome. My next mod is the turbo wicked wheel, to take care of the surge that the extra air that is going through that monster.

I just got the AFE reusable 6637 kit with tube and "TYMAR" type filter holder from Air Flow Systems. I am hoping to get it installed today or tomorrow along with CCV mod. I will be doing a write up on it when done to let everyone know how it went.

Hey there guys and gals..

I have heard many people mention "The Pete's Filter cover" after doing the mod. Sorry for sounding uninformed, but what is the Pete filter cover made of and where are you all getting them from??

Thanks

Pete is a member here (F250_) who makes these slick filter covers for the 6637 and AFE filters. Send him an email to filtercovers@gmail.com and he'll get you the info on the covers.
