I'm replacing my air filter and thinking of going with a K&N. I used them in the past, have one in my F350 and the wife's Can-Am.
Like those "cold air intake" kits for cars. Doesn't matter how large the intake is, and how much air is flowing through the filter, the size of the throttle body is going to allow only so much of all that air.. . . . The limiting factor of air intake is the airbox opening, not the filter. . . .
I'm ass-uming that one would clean their K&N prior to a trip. With the extended advertised range without cleaning of the K&N, I don't know why it would need, or benefit from. being brushed off. To me that would be more pertinent to exposed/individual filters.. . . . The K&N can easily gently be brushed off and simply reoiled. . . .
Interesting, looks like AC Delco is king of filters LOL, awesome. S10 AC Delco filter, does that even exist?
The reason I'm posting the question is not for performance purposes but the ability to clean while remote. I consider carrying an OE backup but that takes up too much valuable room.
The K&N can easily gently be brushed off and simply reoiled, installed and go. "As per K&N" if washing is not available.
I will be about a month off the grid starting June 23.
UNI may be an option but air flow restriction is questionable. Great for dirt bikes though.
