What are you looking for? The Ford AIS is a closed filter type set up that's good for up to 400 hp.

My wife has an AFE stage 2 on her truck, I've got the 6637 filter on my truck if you like the open element or cold air intake type set up. The 6637 is a favorite here because it's affordable. All of these options will perform better than the stock air box in the truck.

Others should be along soon with more pics, but go to fleetfilter.com and enter 46637 in the search box. Current price is $28.86.

This one has one of Pete's covers and a home made box around it.

I agree with Chris, the AFE Stage 2 is the best but you have to pay for it. The 6637 is the cheapest but you have to replace it every 15K or more with a petes cover.

But the AIS system is the best for filtration and it is actually factory ford.

That's the first time i've heard that. No saying that I doubt you , but where did you hear that from? I've not heard of any horsepower ratings on it before, so curiosity has gotten the better of me on this one.

Search up in the 6.0 section, since the AIS intake is nothing more than their stock filter system. That's why aftermarket intakes aren't as popular up there (unless the owner hates trying to change the filter.)
