stops most of the fine dust. slows down the rest so the oil on the filter will catch it. On all of my race quads we used K&N and they let too much through and we had lots of rebuilds. Switched to Uni and didn't like the performance as much, but less rebuilds. Went to K&N with the outerwears on it and had performance and better engine life than running a stock filter. The tracks we raced were all in a series year after year and the weather could be different, but it was seeing the same conditions year after year. So it was a good real world test. I know the filtering could be better on K&N, but as long as I run the outerwears I don't think I will have issues.
I am not trying to push someone onto or away from K&N or that style, but just telling what I do as it works.

Well, a weak attempt at humour... but with a somewhat more serious bent: these are just cars, and engines, and air filters.  It seems to me that we tend to get into trouble on the interwebs when we find ourselves taking this stuff too seriously.   ;D ;D ;D

Gee Bee, that sounds like a nice setup. I'm presently running a K&N panel filter in a Mk 1 airbox, but will be  changing to what you have once I can find a bent pipe to replace that ugly plastic duct.

BTW, I've run K&Ns for over 20 years and over 2 million kilometers. I wouldn't run anything else. ;D
