K& N Filter

I know its not good for our diesels..but what about mine?
I have the banks exhaust system all the way back to the end ?

And why exactly is the stock better?

Here is a link to a study that was done on air filters.
Long story short the K&N restricts the most air. And when it gets full kets the most dirt through.

The Banks exhaust is fine -- it's a bit more pricey than some other options out there, but since it came with your truck, no reason to trade it off (if I understood that correctly). The 2004s have 6.0L engines and are totally different. Neither the exhaust or intake can be swapped directly. At least the down-pipe will be different on the exhaust. The 6.0L intake can be mod'ed to fit our trucks with a bit of work, but I doubt you could get the 7.3L intake to fit a 6.0L, at least very easily.

I was not looking to take the banks exhaust off..just the k&n and get a stock ...IF THAT IS BETTER FOR IT...
which it seems like it is..so i will be on the hunt to trade another 7.3

Do you have the K&N cold air setup? I believe its the Gen. 2 FIPK? That is what I had originally. Like Joe said, as long as you keep it clean and properly oiled you will be alright with it. I kept the intake tube from my K&N setup, got rid of the heat shield, and added a 6637 filter. I have no complaints with the 6637, plus with Pete's over it looks sweet!

The 04 filter won't work that is a 6.0 completely different set up and you'd have to do some serious retrofitting it get it to work but they do fit.
But I recommend this set up

I have to admit that this has been bugging me since I first read it you state that you know that it is not good for diesels but what about mine? Why would your be any different? So knowing that they are not good for diesels especially ours you want to trade some girl at school for hers? Kinda sneaky if you ask me.

The dealership is confident that my last motor was "dusted" due to an "insufficient air filter".
