DIY intake ?'s

[95 f250]

going to do the diy intake mod soon, got some questions. I'm going to use a 6637 napa filter, 6in of pipe (metal). am i going to need something to hold the filter down with, so it doesn't bounce around everytime i hit a bump, some type of clamp or just zipptye it? where can i get a nice sock for that filter?

Yes, use a hold down, and this is the place for covers - Welcome to Pete's 6637 Intake Cover Web Page

that was exactly what i was looking for. but what should i use to hold that filter in place?

you know AFE makes a filter just like that one but in the Pro Dry setup like this:

A giant ziptie around the filter connecting it to a fabricated stand off bracket of some sort.

Or there is also a factory bracket used for the big 6637 Filters lemme see if I can find it.

It looks something like this -- MUFFLER BODY BAND CLAMP, 11.84"(M002123): Superior Diesel

Lots easyer for you to just get a Genuine Tymar intake kit..nothing has been proven to both out flow and out clean one. Cheaper than you think..PM me for pricing.

thanks that clamp was exactly was what i was looking for, would you happen to know if i could get that at napa? CT Performance i sent you a pm, i'm going to look at prices to see which really is the cheapest, DIY or BUY.

Not sure if napa has it. Yours might be able to find it.

The folks at my Napa are pretty clueless unless I can provide a vehicle make and model to help them find the part. I only go there after 1st finding the part at napa on line and then I bring them a part number.

Good luck

Mounting Band for 8-1/2" Air Cleaner or Muffler - PowderCoat
That's the one that works right?
I've always tried to find a way to secure it and raise it up a little bit. Thank you for posting this

jesilvas, good call on the part numbers there!

This is probably the route I'll be taking, still have a few things to think about on my homegrown intake mod.
