Default K&N, UNI, or Twin Air - Which One?

Which air filter do you run or think is the best? I have a K&N filter now, but I don't like the way it filters. Do the others do a better job of filtering while still allowing good air flow.

I like my K&N. As long as you clean it when needed it does great. Make sure you run a prefilter. If will keep a lot more crap and water out and make it last a lot longer

Both are good filters,if cared for the right way.The K&N will definitely flow more air.But for trapping dirt and sand you can't beat a properly oiled foam filter.The thing about the foam filters is no need for a pre filter or outerwears.I personally ran K&N for years ,but recently switched to foam after doing my own testing on both filters.Hope this helps.

I had probs with the K&N and have used both Twin Air and Uni since, I feel they both flow about the same and filter much better than the K&N ever did. I think with either one, you will be satisfied.

I run the K&N, but I can't say it's better than any others, because I haven't run any others. I have had no problems running the K&N in my Predator or my Scrambler, does a great job and clean out great.

I have both and for the price the UNI is winner and I think the both filter good as long as you keep them clean

I prefer UNI over K&N after testing both on my 300ex, the K&N leaves dirt around the intake area... the UNI is always clean, you can't tell a difference in power of your machine. So why K&N if UNI filters better and cost half as much???
