willardwright59 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 i was wondering if UNI 2 stage pods would be a good idea on a total trail banshee? i plan on also making a sheet metal cover to protect it from the mud and water like i did for my new build, but its not going to be a full box around the filters like the oem air box. thanks for any comments.

If you ride in a lot of water and mud I doubt you will like them. Just gonna suck moisture and water in your motor. Other than that pods help quiet a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 As long as you deflect most of the water and mud you should be alright just have to really watch out for puddles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjdgriff Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 I'm looking at getting pods and still run my stock airbox and Jeff at F. A. S. T. said he had an airbox adaptor for pods. I would call him on Tuesday (cuz he is closed tomorrow) and talk to him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dillbilly Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Lots of mud, water, and coal dust in PA. I would make sure it is protected real good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicklez Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Pretty much everyone I ride with run pods in coal. Most run K&N, I ran unipod with outer filter. Never had an issue. U just have to watch the water. If you like flyin through puddles than it might be a bad idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guns4children Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I HATE pods. That being said I just paid 80 bucks for a set cause that's what I feel I need to get the most out of my build. I made sure I kept the box though if I ever have a rainy trip to the trails ill be prepared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willardwright59 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Well my riding conditions arent so bad. Im on a farm which is pretty much where we ride. Theres 1,000 acres of land we farm and we ride old back roads and gas well roads to get there. Nows the time of season where my dad rebuilds his banshee and gets everything ready for next year. I have pods and ive really never had problems because i wasnt out riding in the rain or when it was sloppy, i just made sure if i was gonna be riding in the woods, id have something to cover them up from any kind of water that my tires might throw up into my pods. I will probably build the same for my dad when i get the chance. I want k&n pods, but im still reading to see what i actually need. I havent seen an outerwear that protects from water for the UNI pods either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FASTOYS Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I prefer the pods as they make it much easier to jet and work on. With outerwears we dont have much trouble w/puddles but we dont run through mudholes either. An occasional minor splash through puddles shouldnt hurt. Now crossing a creek may be a different story but hey, in that case maybe you should be on a Grizzly 700. ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshx221 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I also wondered this and how well those outerwears really deflected water. I plan on running stock box with open lid because of our rainy weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
