whats the best air intake system for the 7.3l powerstroke?

 

From what I've heard an afe stage 2 dry filter no oiling but idk for sure but that's what I'm going to get when I get the money

 

AFE, S&B are both good ones. I do not like the dry filters, I ran one for a bit, and in dusty conditions they just dont filter as good as I would like.

 

TYMAR intake is what i like. Had the AFE Stage 2, liked it, but prefer the TYMAR

 

Afe, S&B are both great intakes and I dont mind the Tymar

 

I had a K&N, tossed it for a 6637(Tymar)

 

How much of a difference does the 6637 make? And does it just bold up?

 

I'm using the old K&N tubing, so it was a simple bolt up. I'm not sure how it would work with factory piping or anything else.

 

Did u notice a difference between the k&n filter and the napa filter?

 

My turbo makes a bit more noise is the most I've noticed so far. I think there was a post a while back giving the CFM differences, and someone had done a "daily driving" test with different filters . I used to get a gummy film in my intake, or a thick gunk, reminded me of Quickcrete, after driving gravel roads , that's why I switched. Now once I'm off the gravel I can take it off, knock it a few times, and reinstall. During summer months I was needing to clean the K&N every week or so due to driving on gravel. Didn't like all the extra needed care.
