UNI-Filter vs K&N

[ASRBanshee]

I run K&N right now and am wondering if the UNI foam dual stage filter would be better. I do sometimes ride in heavily dust conditions.

Yes The Foam Would Be Better I Put A Piece Of Panty Hose Over The Filtr Then Remove It Part Way Through The Day.

do they make uni's that fit on the k&n plate ?
ive seen my friends uni setup and the opening looks alot smaller and different shape
ive wanted to get a uni with all the dust we get sometimes

K&N's are great filters, they just require a lot of maintenance....I clean and oil mine after every ride unless its winter and there is no dirt in the air and always run a prefilter on it...but i guess maybe if all you do is ride in a dust bowl a two stage would be better

yea i never used to ride where we do now and its dusty as hell some days when it hasnt rained in a while.. i clean my k&n before every ride and run an outerwear on it too, but with so many people saying the dual uni foams are better i think im gona ditch the k&n... do the foams flow ALOT less air or is it not much of a difference?

I dont think there is any noticable difference. At least not by the seat of your pants dyno.

OILED CORRECTLY SHOULD BE GOOD, KN ARE FOR STREET NOT DUST OR DIRT,HEAVEN FORBID WATER. I LIKE TO SAY IF KN IS SO GREAT WHY DO THEY NEED A CONDOM ON THEY LOL JUST MY 2.5 CENTS WORTH

haha yea good point about the condom.. ive never had a problem though, ive had the same one for about 3 years, clean it every ride, and while its off take a damp paper towl and rub it around the intakes, always comes out basically spotless, but now with riding in all this dust at this place sometimes.. i think its time to ditch it for a uni, do they make em to fit the k&n size adapter plates so you dont have to get a new plate and drill new holes in the airbox for it and shit.. mines all sealed in with epoxy and crap its there for good..

Well the dual stage foam actually needs leaner jetting because it does restrict more air than the K&N to flow through. (Less air=Less Gas=Uni- filter)

My zilla has a k&n. It wont be on long. I never trusted them. Ive heard a few stories lol. Always had uni's on my r and never had a problem. They're durable too
