DIY AFE ??

[chief2]

I have read the DIY for the stock air filter replacement, but it seems like everyone is using a Fleet or NAPA filter element. Is there a reason that you would not use an AFE washable air cleaner instead? It seems that over the long haul you would be $$ ahead with the cost of repalcement filters. Thanks.

well it seems the air filters everyone sells allow more airflow because the filter is more open. this in turn allows alot of dust particles into ur turbo. i think the reason for the tymar style intake is because it allows alot more air in but it passes through the same paper type filter you truck comes with from the factory keeping nasty stuff out of your turbo. i belive this is the reason
