Open K&N's vs Airbox

[CHANCELLOR12]

Hello, last year i bought a 1987 yamaha banshee, it has twin k&n filters with prechargers, how much water can they handle? Would i be better to switch to a stock airbox if i wanted to go through mud and water? Would i lose much power? Thanks

I'm not the right person to ask but it just seems to me that an airbox with the snorkel that comes on them would be best for water. But I have seen a few mods that say don't run the top of the box but I cross some water from time to time so I run a K&N filter with the full box myself. But like I said I'm not one to ask. Good luck

I run through some mud and water. I use a big single K/N and outerwear with a air box adapter plate, tossed the lid, cut the back off the box and have a chunk of panty hoes over it all. Good to go, repels mud and water pretty good. Unless you got deep mud boggin in water you will have no problems.

Prodesign 2stage foam filter and adapter ftw. Even if iy gets a lil wet ur good.

All preference. Run as little restriction as you can get away with comfortably.

I run a kn with the box. I have the Lid without the snorkel if I know im going on a wet/muddy ride
