huff-- sorry, but your math/percentage example is totally inaccurate. If K&N stops 97% and stock stops 98% its a 1% difference. In other words for every 100 particles of dirt, lets say, 3 get thru on the K&N and 2 get thru on stock. That is a 1% difference-plain and simple. Your analogy is totally incorrect. Just trying to set the record straight. Take Care. CT 00 Scrambler 500

No, math is correct. Forget about 98 vs 97. Lets just look at the 3 particles that got thru with the K&N, and the 2 thru the stock. 3 is 50% more than 2 plain and simple. You do not care about how much dirt was trapped. What you care about is the amount of dirt that got thru. I realize this concept is difficult for many to understand, it's bounced around on many newsgroups. The end result though is always the same...3 is 50% more than 2. The K&N filters allow 50% more dirt THRU than the stock filter. Lets say you have no idea how much dirt was trapped by either filter. All you know is say 300 particles got thru with the K&N, and
200 got thru with the stock. Plain and simple, 50% more dirt got thru the K&N than the stock.

Trick math problem huh? lol. 2/3 is .66666 or 66%, meaning 2 is 66% of 3, or 33% less than 3...but, 3/2 is 1.5 meaning 3 is 150% of 2, or 3 is 50% more than 2.....whole point is, the K&N filter does indeed allow considerably more dirt into the intake than a stock filter, MUCH more than the 1%..which is the difference in the amount trapped, not let thru.

With all that said the K&N filter works great, does not hurt your engine and does give it slightly better performance. CT 00 Scrambler 500--with K&N filter.

K&N don't make a filter for the 200 kodiak. What did you put on?
