hello have a question im hoping you warrior guys can help a newbie warrior owner i just bought a hmf slip on exhaust for my 2000 warrior so now im looking for a aftermarket air filter setup any ideas which would be the best would like to keep airbox if possible someone at work told me about vents you put in the airbox? also heard the way the stock filter hooks up is junk because seal can leak letting in dirt? any help will would be super will have to rejet next but thats a different story right now. thanks guys[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

Go with a clamp-on filter kit. Either Noss Machine, or Pro-Flow. They have a billet aluminum adapter that screws onto your airbox, and eliminates the drop-in filter design that can let dirt slip past. The Noss is about $10 cheaper and the same quality, so i'd go with that. Both are available with a K&N or UNI filter. Go with the K&N unless you ride in dusty conditions frequently, i've heard complaints about the K&N not getting all the real fine particles.

 

thanks recon for the help by going with this setup do i have to use airbox vents? is the uni better in dusty conditions? my boy really enjoys passing me and seeing me in a dust cloud.

 

Well, the airbox depends on if you ride in wet conditions a lot. You could completely remove the airbox lid with this setup, and get maximum gain from it, but if the filter is going to get muddy constantly that's not the best thing to do. In that case the airbox vents would be a better choice. Just an occasional sprinkle of mud or water won't hurt it, and you can get an outerwear to waterproof the filter, but if you frequently ride in water you might just want to leave the airbox stock.

The UNI is supposed to be better in dusty contitions because it has a sticky oil (It makes a mess) to hold the dirt in, and it can hold more dust and dirt before it needs cleaned. The downside of the uni is that it's more difficult, messy, and time consuming to clean compared to the K&N.

 

i heard some bad things about the k an n

 

Proflow adapter with K&N + outerwear on my warriors for the last 8 years and has worked great.

 

thanks guys for all the info im gonna go with the pro flow setup. thanks im glad you guys are out there to help with these kind of questions im a newbie to the warrior and have to learn.

 

Hey Just wondering if you got That air Filter Kit, How does it work? I am Thinking about getting it. What modification must you do? Will the filter fit under the Airbox Lid?
