The K&N is a good filter but it will allow more particulents into the motor.
Take a K&N filter and hold it up to a light bulb and look thru it and you will see tiny holes about the size of a head of a pin.
I've had a K&N on my truck for over a year and I recently took it off because I started seeing fine particles of dust in my intake tube.

Get a foam filter if you want to keep your motor happy.

outerwears solve that problem and still give more air than uni
K&N all the way

I personally run a UNI Hi flow multistage foam element, My opinion is K&N is overrated and overpriced.

All these accessories are overpriced in my opinion.... but that is another matter. I recently purchased the K&N power up kit which consists of new dyno jets (supposedly different/better than normal jets), K&N filter & prewear & there is a noticable throttle response increase in the midrange RPM's & 2-4th gear. I am running w/out the airbox lid w/dyno's 160 main jet.

As far as cleanliness goes, I pulled the filter after this weekends ride which consisted of a lot of superficial mud & surface water, and rain, but nothing deep. The prewear was wet & inside of the airbox had some dirt & wetness in it, but the inside of the filter itself was completly clean & moisture free. I always keep my lid around though for when I take the power washer to it!

Hope this gives you some perspective...

Keep it clean and oiled, you will have no problems. Raced mine through mud, sand, and water, for over a year now, NO problems.

uni all the way


tests have shown that uni lets as much air through as k&n. nouthing beats a uni, say what you must but that is my 2 cents

Mickey Dunlap siad the K&N has better flow but u should always have an outwear on it. The reason K&N are more expensive is becuase its a whole air filter, the Uni is just foam that uses the stock body. I prefer the K&N w/ outwear.
