Which Air Filter Do You Prefer?

[pimpchevy07]

i am looking at either a pro-k filter or a tau ceti filter. either one i get i will be using an outer wear on it. i heard somewhere about pro-k's falling apart, but i dont know how true it is. any pros or cons on either one. i am not using the stock one because im running a black jack carb.

I would adapt the stock air box to the black jack carbs, have a custom mounting plate made.

Prok's later makes are known to have the "vortex" cone on the top come unglued and fall in. My SeaPoo has some and I never had a problem, don't know when they were made though.

I'd reckon it's from people removing them wrong and twisting them off from the top or filter piece, not the base. Have seen K&N's and others do the same.

IMO fab the stock setup, it's much better for the use we're intending to put our ski's through.

if i went A/M i would get the tau ceti's, the have a little more restriction.

FLY flame arrestors from blowsion w/outewear covers to keep out water

i am using the thrust innovations adapter on my Black Jack with OEM single FA.

Bluegtate took a regular FA adapter, bored out the middle some. Then tapped the bottom of the holes to accept the bottom of the stock FA hardware. He then used a silicone hose to couple the FA adapter turned upside down to the black jack carb. Worked great and didn't cost much b/c he already had an FA adapter available I think.

i had a k&n but it broke..now i have a tau ceti but its coming apart too....after switching from an oem i noticed no more water ingestion with the open type w/o an outerwear

i rode two weekends with a open type and I defiantly felt the difference.

meh..the only time ive gotten my motor wet was when the ski was completely sunk..would have gotten wet either way..but i guess it is extra piece of mind

either way, i bet your hood keeps more water out than my crappy one does. probably plays a role.

I agree use oem...keeps more water out...that's what engine builders tell me ...

oem... ask team scream... 1000cc+, oem yamaha intakes.

i am converting back on the current ski.

oem on a SJ:Banane09:
keep all 3 screens- they work as a demister
my 750sx is running r&d cones w/outerwear
3 years no problems, solid piece

oem twincarb

 

[Matt_E]

I use Proks, per Brazina's recommendation.
I haven't noticed them falling apart.

 

[Shonuff]

I run Tau Ceti on both my big boats, OEM on the little one.

 

[750SX]

I like the pro-k's. They are much stiffer than k&n's.

 

[LBE]

I don't have an air filter.
I just run the stock flame arrestor.
