pattheriault Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) Hey guys. I Have a 4mil motor ported by FAST. I am currently running K&N pods but was thinking of putting my air box back on since we have had a lot of rain lately. I usually leave from home and there's a lot of 1' deep puddle before i get to the good trails. lot of small puddle in the larger trail too that i hit a higher speed. Im thinking of getting the Pro-Flow Kit with K&N Filter and running and outerwrap on it. Im also looking at the EHS air box cover kit. what are your though on this setup? am im wasting money on the EHS setup as I could just ditch the cover. anything else I should be looking at? I don't mind cutting in the box at all. I'd just like the peace of mind if run through some water.

special06shee Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Fuck air box. It will literally rob 10-15%power. Run dual stage uni filter pods (only oil main filter) and use water repellent outter wears. Done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattheriault Posted June 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 splash guard is more or less what I am trying to achieve with the stock airbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattheriault Posted June 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 I may just give the stock airbox with no lids a try and do a plug chop before I start ordering part. I don't want to loose to much power either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guns4children Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 2$ for 2 turkey pans from the dollar store. BAM! Air box made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigweav81 Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Lol, cool. Why not buy real tin, and bend, shape, or manipulate to the desired shape. It would be cheap, and hold up......look better to. I'm not saying your knitting ,or sewing game is weak. Just thinking out loud.

Larry's Shee Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 2$ for 2 turkey pans from the dollar store. BAM! Air box made. How is this more efficient than a stock box with a good filter ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigweav81 Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Because you can't throw a butterball turkey in plastic, and bake it......every body know that. Sent from my SM-S820L using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattheriault Posted June 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 2$ for 2 turkey pans from the dollar store. BAM! Air box made. This look just as restrictive as the stock air box so why not just run the airbox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guns4children Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 This look just as restrictive as the stock air box so why not just run the airbox? It would be just as restrictive if you took the stock air box put a better filter inside of it. Then cut the front off that connected to the filter. Then cut the rear that connected to the filter. Then drilled holes inside air box. Not to mention this could be slid into place and secured with two zip ties in a matter of seconds. But you're right it is exactly the same as running a stock air box as long as you didn't grind off your tabs when you put pod filters on.

pattheriault Posted June 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 yeah Id like to modify the front of the stocker to be able to run dual pods in there. does anyone has experience with EHS? they advertise that their cover flow as good as no cover at all.

guns4children Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Oh and it probably doesn't even work. But wait what happens when mud gets in your stock air box? Holes you drilled get plugged up. Water collection occurs and now you get to hang out while your superior set up sets out. Me? I'll be riding cause water and mud run off my non stick surface. Don't believe me? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattheriault Posted June 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Im not bashing your setup but if you were to cut hole and place some outerwear filter on top of the hole you would basically achieve the exact same performance and security of your setup and it would look a lot cleaner. I understand going with something like you did if your running larger carbs but if your not it seem like a bit of trouble for no real gain over a modded stock box.

pattheriault Posted June 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 On a side note what rear tire are those? how do you like them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guns4children Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Those are called bear claws. They are 22 inches and tough as nails. I've been riding this set for years and never had an issue of going flat or needing plugs. I ride shale and stone pits with a ton of sharp rocks and still no problems. I run these and 23 inch tires up front it feels good and give me a little more clearance for the rutted out stuff. The massive side lugs also work good in muddy ruts.
