Can a simple 6637 filter support 500rwhp, or is it not gonna be able to flow enough air?

I ask because I can get the filter locally for $23 but if it wont work for my end goals i'll go straight to an intake system that can

I'll take a stab at it and say yes (depending on how you plumb it ... no PVC fittings!). The Donadson filter used in the Tymar setup can flow a lot of air. JMO though. Cheers!

There's not much more you can do to flow more air except...NO filter.....and you know the answer to that.....NO

I don't think the other one will fit where the 6637 would go. Even if the hood closes, the larger diameter will probably be against something and restrict the flow (and negate any flow advantages). Cheers!

I might just have to replace my 6637 soon than....I'm wanting to run a custom intake like the ATS Great White truck anyway.

It will easily support 500 hp. This is my home built, click link in my signature to see a bit of how I built mine. If I had it to do over I would have bought the TYMAR - much cleaner install than mine and not that expensive.

i ran the 6637 from napa for about 5k mi. then i went to the 6637 cotton filter from afe. night and day difference. lower egts, better fuel mileage and i have checked the compressor wheel for dusting and got none. if you are constantly in a dusty enviroment then the paper filter is king. if not get a 6637 from afe. look it up. the end of it is a filter too. not just a rubber end.
