Gargamel Posted March 20, 2004 Report Posted March 20, 2004 just checked and saw my new shee has twinair filter on it. So question- airbox lid suppose to be on or off with this. I know k&n says lid off. Anyone use the k&n power filter lid? Quote
frocashmoney24 Posted March 21, 2004 Report Posted March 21, 2004 most people run there lids off unless there runnin stock filters or they like running in mud, take it ioff, the more air it gets the better Quote
banshee tuner Posted March 21, 2004 Report Posted March 21, 2004 Take that lid off I don't even have an airbox. Quote
Gargamel Posted March 21, 2004 Author Report Posted March 21, 2004 is this a decent filter or should i trash it . All I ever ride in all my vehicles is k&n. Never heard of twinair, it's a sponge filter. And took off lid runs better thanx Quote
Banchetta Posted March 21, 2004 Report Posted March 21, 2004 You can cut the lid to if you want to stop debris from flying onto the filter. Cut the last 1.5" off the end so you still have all four clips....Makes a huge difference and didn't see hardly any difference on the dyno....A full lid lost 4-5hp compared to the cut lid, then only .5hp comparing the cut lid to no lid.....

BansheeBrian Posted March 21, 2004 Report Posted March 21, 2004 I followed Banchetta's advice on the airbox and worked out great!After some jetting tweaks you will notice a nice difference!He's right I gained around 4hp. Quote
oldturtle Posted March 21, 2004 Report Posted March 21, 2004 Gar, The TwinAir foam filter is one of the very best foam filters you can get. This filters dust and fine particles much better than K&N. The only negative is that it is more restrictive than K&N. So if you really want more power, are ready and able to re-jet your carbs, and do not ride in the dust then K&N is good. Otherwise keep TwinAir. Quote
AVBANSHEE03 Posted March 30, 2004 Report Posted March 30, 2004 I GOT A K&N MYSELF. DOES ANY ONE KNOW IF HAVING AN OUTAWEAR ON THE FILTER RESTRICT AIRFLOW? Quote
Ducman Posted March 30, 2004 Report Posted March 30, 2004 I've got the twin air with the foam outerwear and I like it. They are pretty tough. You can really twist them hard to wring out the excess oil or cleaning solution when doing maintenance and not hurt them. They have a duel stage foam layer for filtering out even very fine dust. They are a brand that has been around forever. I run with the lid off even through mud and watter with no problems but it does get dirty a lot faster and requires cleaning way more often than with the lid on. With your setup, similar to mine, you need to go up 2 sizes on the main jets when you take the lid off. K&N outerwears make only a small difference in flow but help keep the filter clean for a lot longer. I think Banchetta said they dynoed with and without and it made 1/4 hp difference; about the same deviation you can get from one dyno run to the next. Quote

I know k&n says lid off. Anyone use the k&n power filter lid? my friend runs a k&n filter and powerlid on his raptor(booo!)and was very happy with the results sounds good too was thinking of gettin one myself for the shee!

Wassup350 Posted March 31, 2004 Report Posted March 31, 2004 I run a K&n with an outerwear and lid on and im very pleased with it. Definitely run it with the lid on if your gonna go through mud or dust. Extra protection is worth loss of horsepower, in my opinion. Quote
