  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Not advised for use in wet conditions. OK for street and desert. I suggest Uni, Twinair or similar filters.

Are you asking about a pleated paper filter? That is what I think of for KN never heard of Knn.

K&N are not pleated paper. They are made from surgurical gauze with special oil coating. They flow more air than most foam filters but will also pass water easily into your engine. Some think dirt can also under some circumstances.
 
Not quite sure what I am looking at in the picture but I suppose the original question involves not only the filter but the air box as well. I can't add too much at this point. I had/have kn filter on British twin bike which the original air box was no longer there. Much better than the velocity stacks it had on it when I got it. Off highway equipment like ag tractors or bulldozers have that pleated gauze type of filter but in a well designed ductwork. Years ago they had an oil bath the air bubbled through and then some filter the oil got wet. I have heard that was stopped primarily because folks poured the dirty oil on the ground but don't know.
 
thanks for the advise. guess i'd stick to the conventional foam air filter instead of this.
 
I run K&N filters on my dirt modified. We see alot of dirt and dust over a 20 lap race. And I never had a engine failure using these filters on a 500 hp small block. I do run a outer wear over it and that helps as well. I wounldn't scrap it. I just don't know how the work in wet weather. Come to think of it I also used them when I race quads.
