On the 7.3, anything is an improvement over that tiny thing. On the 6.4, S&B doesn't even remotely hold a candle to the stock filter in airflow or filtering efficiency.

STOCK AIR FILTER is $90 & you throw it away, AFE PRO DRY 7 is reuseable & only $57

Okay.....so for that $57 you get poop quality filtering, no additional airflow and frequent maintenance to keep it from becoming very restrictive.

Vs the factory filter you get a filter that filters better than ANY other type of filter on the market, can hold over a POUND of dirt before becoming restrictive, only needs 1 minute to swap in a new one every year or two and, FYI, it only costs $76.

Yeah...where was AFE's advantage again?

one & half years ago when I needed to change my air filter, the stock unit was $90, now it mite be $76. I only paid $57 & all I do is clean my AFE PRO DRY 7, never have to spend another penny on a air-filter I won't let my air-filter get clogged, I clean it every 6-months I like saving my money

stock is good, aftermarket is just fine, a company like AFE isn't going to put out garbage I'll trust them any day of the week, if I were buying a complete aftermarket intake it would be an AFE or S&B in that order
