wrap your outside intake with mothers panty hose, will stop the big stuff going in I have used them for over 11,000 miles without any problem

Just read all the comments. You're right, people either hate K&N or love them. I just bought a UNI filter for my pioneer 700. When held up to the sun I can see little holes through the UNI. Someone else posted a video demonstrating the same thing. People say the same thing about K&N filters. I just ordered a K&N for my Pioneer and I'll give that a try and see how it works out. People claim they "dusted" their engines. I've learned one thing in my 52 years on earth, some people "claim" to be mechanically inclined but aren't. If you had a car come into your shop with a K&N and the motor has been dusted, there's a reason for it and I'm sure the owner improperly installed the filter or it fell off or it hasn't been cleaned in 5 years and the oil dried up. Lots of men have pride and won't admit when they screwed up doing a simple install. There has to be a reason why some engines are being "dusted" by a K&N filter or any other aftermarket filter for that matter. I've used K&N for over 30 years and NEVER had an issue with dust getting past the filter in the intake tube. My air boxes have been absolutely filthy, yet the intake tube is still clean. I give it the white paper towel test to see. K&N claims 97-99 percent filtering efficiency....end of rant.

I had a K&N filter on a 1999 Yamaha Grizzly and found the K&N filter to be a lot easier to service than the OEM filter was.

Stickers add like 20HP. 🏁

You made a perfect spot for your k&n filter bypass it filtering and to suck dirt through into the engine

Veteran cross country racer here,,, we liked k&n fabric based filters best in mud/water environments, and other foam based brands in dry/dusty/desert operations.. All good if properly installed.. The reason I commented is because I think you should put the crankcase vent hose on the k&n filter the way they designed it to be done.. There is/was nothing wrong with the way they had it set up to do..

You are nuts! LOL! Love the vid!! 🏁 getting ready for the PA winter! Just ordered the winch and winch mount!... Still didn’t decide on the plow assembly.... 🇺🇸☠️

what's a filder?

I had a coarse pre-filter from a Polaris ranger that fits in the intake opening behind the drivers side cab. I use pre-filters on just about everything I own. Keeps a lot of dirt from getting to the main filter. I've never had an issue with too much restriction as long as I keep the pre filter-clean.

Get a uni they are the best the hell with k@n iv had many Motor s come in my shop that blow up from dirt going through the filter an into the motor.

Watch Project Farm's video on air filters and I guarantee you'll change your mind about K&N lol. I love WIX

Just a thought , can you just leave the vent of the crank case the way u did, but completely close the elbow that goes into KN filter top hole? May be even use a plug to close that hole.

Have you had any issues with your crank case vent since your modifications? Is this modification really needed? Thanks.

can't see why a little more oil in the K&N would hurt, cleaning them and re-oiling is part of the cycle. The very very small amount of oil would not amount to any negative side effects imo. opinions vary... love your videos

Can you give me some good ideas about my Pioneer 1000 pre cleaning air filter I would like to add a better filter in the front to keep from having to change that expensive paper filter in the back don't really like the idea of cutting a hole in my hood and having it on the outside thanks for the help

Have you had any feedback from K and N about your air filter Mod?

What kind of windshield do you have on that beast??

What's the part number for the K&N filter

The filter is NOT better.. you will dust the engine .. trust me!! My ATV blows all sorts of smoke thanks to the crappy filter that you can see daylight through!! It does flow better, and may give a little more power. But it only stops the big particles.. all the small stuff goes right through.

Hi, I was looking to get a gift for a family member with a pioneer 500, and upgrades that helpful for cheap money? Thanks in advance!

Gypsy is correct... K&N are great for street rods needing air, not great for dirt applications.

Did u put one in rhino build ?

You sure that isn't just a crank case vent? Breather? that needs fresh clean air? Therefore the K&N is doing what it should. Other than they don't filter for crap. A prefilter is highly recommended!

I got an air compressor you can borrow it might work a little better hahaha

Glad you finally admitted it!

Old thread, but for any new viewers, it is proven that K&N DOES NOT filter better. Yes, more airflow, but not as great as filtering. Stick with a factory, UNI etc

Clean air is better than more air. K+N is the worst filter out there. Might as well just use a sock. It might actually filter better

LOL SMH

Think about some better music. Or none! The fruit-loop crap you play is like fingernails on a chalkboard! (A blue riff would be nice)
