Default Dust proof air intake?

I do alot of agricultural work with my truck, none more dusty then raking hay with my truck. Spending 12+ hours in a very high dust enviroment at speeds of 3~7 mph. Such a dusty enviroment makes me scared to install a much needed air intake, due to horsepower additions... What air intake would be the best for my situation?

I like the S&B style with and inclosed box from the engine bay. Reason being the fans on these trucks suck up every ounce of dust and blow it around very nicely. Wether you go dry or oiled type of filter (big debate) Get a prefilter for it as well. Also put a nice coating of grease where the filter connects to the intake and where the intake mates to the tubo making a nice soild seal when its clamped down. Hope this helps ya. Good luck

Im interested in the S&B filter, and something I read in diesel power magazine got me curious... "It's old news by now, but S&B will engrave anything you like on the clear plexi filter cover." As said in diesel power magazine. 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 Intake Installation - S&B Cold Air Intake - Diesel Power Magazine
