http://www.davesmotors.com/s.nl/it.A/id.55/.f

this is a little less money but not too sure about it

just type BLITZ CNC Alloy Air Filter Elevation Angle Fit HPI Baja KM ROVAN CY Engine look for it on ebay

Sorry I meant to paste the triple flow for better protection. http://www.davesmotors.com/af371

I have a stock xt. I like the look of the mini k&n type filters, but I know they don't provide the best flow. I see the hpi set looks similar to the stock setup, what makes it better? And what advantages does the velocity stack provide?

I think for the time being im going to stay with the stock carb.

Look cool but should only be used on road. They don't offer enough protection to be in the dirt.

I hear ya. I was looking at the tgn setup and could only find it in a small 1" system. Is this the only one they offer? Any downside?

You want as much surface area as possible. Otherwise, it will clog up quickly.

Ive always used the TGN easy clearance filter with the redneck and outerwear. They have always worked perfect for me!

 

[vpalace]

Makes sense. Thank you.

What's the best air filter to use for off road aka the desert, and where's the best place to order it from?

These are both good.

HPI filter with angled shreadstack. http://shopping.netsuite.com/s.nl/c.885035/n.1/it.A/id.55/.f and http://shopping.netsuite.com/s.nl/c.885035/n.1/it.A/id.7325/.f

The DT1 works good and fits under the buggy bodies. http://shopping.netsuite.com/s.nl/c.885035/n.1/it.A/id.8283/.f and http://shopping.netsuite.com/s.nl/c.885035/n.1/it.A/id.4363/.f

I use the DT1 with a tall velocity stack on my Dune Runner. Clears everything and nothing gets past it.

Just got my DT1 and velocity stack from TGN. Now I have to get the damn thing fixed!

 

[Ildy666]

If u put a small spring about 3/4" round by about 4" inside the filter it will open it up so u got good air space cheap and easy....

 

[vpalace]

Where in the world would I find that?

 

[Ildy666]

Hardware store.or get a piece of wire and coil it a couple of times and cut to length.it keeps the filter from collapsing on its self.

whats the differences between the three shreadstacks that DDM has

1.) Inclined shreadstack

2.) Non angled shreadstack for reed case motors

3.) Angled open plenum shreadstack
