I'm thinking about getting the K&N air filter setup and running it with a pre-filter and no air box lid. Bad idea? Would I see any improvements? I ride in the woods and dunes. I know everyone recommends the Uni but the K&N is way cheaper.

ummm... where did you find a K&N cheaper than a UNI? the UNI is by far less expensive, and works better imo... but to answer your question, no, it's not a bad idea. what other mods do you have?

Supposedly the ehs lid flows like an open lid box and is already prefiltered.

 

[Juggernautical]

A filter would be my first mod. I found a K&N kit for about $65 shipped on amazon. Every Uni kit I've found is over $100. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places? And i've heard about the EHS lid but I am trying to go the cheapest route for now..

I think uni filter's are around $35?

 

[boost addict]

You can get the Uni on fleabay for 30.00 shipped.

 

[Juggernautical]

Ok, I'm starting to see some. Don't you need one of those collars that I see in the expensive kits, though?

 

[ceballos]

Yup, ebay for about $30 shipped... and for the UNI you don't need a collar... don't know about the k&n

 

[Juggernautical]

Nice. Now I'm just wondering if there's a performance advantage to having one of those collars. What would be the point aside from a higher profit for retailers? Also, has anyone ran a Uni and then swapped it for a K&N or vise verse? Just wondering what performance advantages and disadvantages there are between the two.

I just bought a uni from rockymountain atv and paid 38.00 with shipping. The only thing you need is oil for the filter before you install, other than that you are good to go

Personally I don't think you will notice to much either way. Not saying increased airflow won’t improved the performance, just imo not that noticeable. That said I'd still replace the stock filter once the factory is dirty.

Awesome! Thanks a lot guys. Really appreciate all the help.

uni vs stalk

Do uni's flow better than stalk ? arn't they both just foam ? k & N 's flow more if you keep them clean. What is the advantage to a uni or are they just cheaper than oem.

 

[Juggernautical]

They are both foam but supposedly the Uni is much less restrictive.

The foam flows better. Also the stock air filter cage is SUPER restrictive where the UNI one is not

 

[WiZkY]

can we run open lid with uni filter without controller or I will run to lean?

 

[jfdanie2]

You'll be fine if that's all your going to do is take off the lid

 

[WiZkY]

I also take off the spark arrestor!!!

I just installed the Mod Quad K&N kit with Pre Charger and the EHS lid. I went with K&N because I use their filters on all my vehilces, easy to maintain. I didn't notice any performance change and there was a bit of dust in the airbox after a quick ride but the filter is clean. So far I'm happy with this setup.

 

[boost addict]

The lid is letting the dust in. Are you running the outerware on the k&n also?
