turbowrenchhead Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 I was at the track yesterday and it was really dusty. I only followed a few bikes for a short while. I was talking to a guy about K&N's and he said they don't filter fine dust. I pulled one off my bike and he put his finger inside, curled it and wiped it. Sure enough it was dirty. I was looking on ebay for some uni's for banshee but they are shorter and no pre filters. Where can I get a set that's at least 6" long with outwears?

sheerider11 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Are they real K&N or cheap knock off? Did you oil them like K&N says? I have no problems 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbowrenchhead Posted August 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) They are real K&N's. I properly cleaned them and oiled them. I called my builder this morning and discussed it with him and he agrees that K&N's don't filter fine dust and will eat up a motor in time. He said they only use them in Arenas or no dust conditions.

Vicstuff Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 The dual stage unis don't require an outwear the red portion of foam acts like an outerwear Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbowrenchhead Posted September 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 The outwears would be for water repellant from puddles. I have not been able to find a set with outwears. Does anyone know where they can be purchased as a set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETR174 Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Outerwears for what the K&N's or UNI's? UNI's don't use outerwears, like mentioned earlier the outer layer (red) acts as an outerwear. My bike has run a UNI filter in the stock airbox for 15 years and NEVER has there been any shit getting into the intake. It's been riden on sand, dirt, mud, snow and nothing has ever happened. Yeah it looks like shit but it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
