I read in last months Diesel power that the stock filters were just as good or better than a aftermarket filter, and when a little dirty, actually filter better than a brand new filter. The HP loss was maybe 1 hp over having a brand new filter installed.
Diesel power said the stock filters can last up to 50,000 miles before actually needing changed. Its the small particles that get into the turbo that cause damage. People think because they see a little dirt on the filter that it needs changed out, but in fact its actually filtering better than a new one.
Let that stock filter go for a few thousand miles and it will filter the microscopic particles better and thus keeping the small particles out of the turbo and making your engine live longer.
Get some oil filter magnets for the oil filter and a magnetic drain plug and you engine will live a long long time.
Dont believe the hype, these aftermarket companies stay in business because of crafty advertising.

I run an s&b stage 2 on my cummins and I love it there was a big difference in air flow but the stock one was pretty dirty when i changed it and the s&b adds a better look to your engine than the stock filter box.

i just replaced my stock intake with an s&b cold air intake and there was a big difference. there is only a couple hundred miles on it but with the new intake and my new five inch exhaust my mpgs went from 12-13 to a solid 21. sounds crazy i couldnt believe the numbers myself when i went to fuel up.
