Opinions on blowsion pre-filter

[junkyjs550]

I'm getting a lot water in my carbs when running my after market tornado filters and I'm thinking about getting a set of blowsion pre-filter. Are they worth it do they work? Looking for opinions! Thanks fellas!

Better to figure out how the water is getting in there to begin with. The pre-filter is a poor mans band-aid.

I'm running an r and d pipe and the pipes for the hood won't fit with the pipe in and I'm thinking King that's how and my licoricein hood warped some how and doesn't sit on the seal very well

Prefilters not worth it IMO. Ran them for awhile. They get dirty and clogged easy messing with tuning. Better off addressing water intrusion issues like @Quinc said.

I fail to see how an AM filter with a pre-filter can work better for performance or water out than the stock airbox.

I would definitely figure out the water issue first - maybe try the 'surf seal' sold by a member here & on ebay (sorry do not remember name but great guy & awesome product) - I run it on my B1 which is nothing but ocean riding & it stays dry inside! I also run the pre-filters with no issues, if you decide to go with them buy directly from the manufacturer - http://outerwears.com/categories.asp?cat=11453 - and save yourself a couple dollars. The website is not the greatest & you may have to call to get your exact air filter figured out but they are a great company & awesome product.
If you go back to a stock airbox they can be had very reasonably here, I have them for dual 38's & dual 44's that I would let go inexpensively.

Thanks guys for your info I think I'm going to go with the prefilters for now because I mail ride on a river and see what happens my water is coming in because of a licoricein warped hood and I'm to cheap to buy a new one if the prefilters don't work I'll just go back to the ugly stock box
