hi


I'm making a new air box and wondering what the best filter K&N or UNI I do mx and dunes also if I go with uni should I go with clamp on or the type used by bikes ??

thanks Atvracer557

 

In my opinion UNI is best especially in dusty conditions like the dunes. I have used a K&N slip on before with an outerwear cover and it still allowed alot of dust/sirt to pass through. I have a Twin Air slip on now that I also think is as good than the UNI and better than the K&N. The K&N may possibly flow more air, but I think it flows more dirt also. Just my opinion.

 

hey, its your buddy up in kansas. don't buy a uni. i had that one on the honda and i took it off and checked it this weekend and there was so much sand that got through, so i stuck the K&n back on. just thought i warn you before you switched over.

 

maybe you didn't oil it right or it dried out. havn't got any sand in mine.

 

it was on good and oiled good. it was a brand new filter i had put on when i had the motor rebuilt not too long ago.

 

Maybe It wasn't sealed good?? I have <U>never</U> had dirt or sand come through the UNI or Twin Air, but the K&N was a totally different story.

 

i would go with the K&N.

 

I was wondering if you guys think it is worth it to put a k&n air filter kit on a 2001 wolverine. Would there be a noticeable difference in power?

Thanks,

uni foam filter does filter out more because it is a 2 stage filter

 

it doesn't matter if its a two stage filter or not its still foam with holes in it big enough for sand to work its way through. a foam filter that is oiled good is good for dirt and dust because dust will stick to the oil, but sand doesn't stick to the oil it just works its way through the foam. i just went back to my k&n filter this last weekend for the dunes and found no sound in rubber intake going into the carb. unlike the uni which was caked with sand after one trip. so from personal experience i'd stick with a k&n. there's several other people who i ride with who have experience the exact same thing.
