How many of you guys run your quads with no air box lid? And if you do, what kind of protection do you use? Do you use a prefilter (how much does one of those cost) or what. I just put a pipe on my 400EX and re-jetted it to a stage 2 jetting. Stage 2 means no airbox lid and a #170 main jet. It is a huge jet and without the airbox lid my bike is SCARY FAST, I mean real fast but once I put the lid back on it sputters and boggs badley. Do you think it is safe to run without the lid?

I have never ran an airbox lid.I use a k&n with a filter skin over it.I have no problems with this setup.

I just cut out most of the lid and wrapped 2 layers of panty hose around the remaining "frame" of the lid and re-installed it. Gives great flow but probably does not keep water out for squat. My area is mostly desert or dunes, so I rarely have to worry about water.
