I've got the DIY setup now, but have considered going to the S&B or another that would be quieter and is actually sucking in colder air. Is there anything that really makes the DIY/Tymar better other than the cost?

Yeah, paper is a far better filtering media than anything else...especially cotton gauze.

Is the tymar washable/cleanable? Or do you have to replace it when it gets dirty?

I cleaned my AFE (regular filtering) filter last weekend and the dirt that came out of it was real fine grain.

I like the cost of the DIY setup but like he others cuz they have the shield to keep out the hot engine air out and plus the intake Tube with less groves in it so less restriction

I really like the Ford AIS for me not looking for crazy high HP numbers. Great filter & keeps the stock look under the hood.
