Any out there had a problem with uni trapping water as Ive read? I have K&N on the truck but K&N price seems overkill. Opinions please.

Centuries ago I had a Filtron filter on my motocross bike. It's about the same thing as a Uni. You have to oil the Uni filter same as a Filtron. I raced in mud, rain and snow without trouble. It even looked brown from the crud that caked up on it instead of it's true green color. Oil repels water on a foam filter. Whoever said the Uni traps water is all wet.

I have used many UNIs and K&Ns and prefer the K&Ns.. they are just a better filter.
Beware.. they are many Chinese K&N look-a-likes and they don't filter squat and you could ruin
your rings running them...

Thanks KZ, Ive been skeptical that it is a not a bad filter and suspected those that complained they trap water do not oil the filter, or do not oil it properly.Lets face it its a sponge if not oiled. |
