From my experience use K&N if you ride in really dusty or sandy conditions and use UNI if you ride in wet or muddy conditions but of you're like me and you do both us UNI.

I have a Honda 300 4x4, and mainly ride mud. Some trail though. I've got a k and n along with some other mods, and everything seems to be working fine. So do i need to switch to a uni.

I haven't tried either, but I've always heard that K&N was no good for dusty conditiond, and thet you should use a Uni filter for those conditions

Rick of RCR racing recommends only the Uni filter because he says the K&N is not as good in dusty trail conditions.

Good luck,
