    True the prefilter , whatever the material, is imperative for fine dust environments.
    To make my FIPK i am using the stock air tube and attatching the filter via 2 inch pvc coupler, then using metal strap to keep it in place.

    It is more restrictive - but for those times the dust is really kicking I feel better. I just think the K&N let's in too much fine particulate and that desert dust is just that fine particulate. Any time I came home from the desert there was always some dust inside the tube, with the bag none. Now that said I don't use it at home, only when I know I'm gonna be in a lot of dust.


    BTW all this is just my stupid opinion. No real basis in anything but "Hey you know what I think..."

    Also I don't look like a fag with pantyhose in my possesion, not that there is anything wrong with that.
    lol..you wouldnt know it was pantyhose unless i told ya i think the vacuum bag would be to restrictive, and make it like a paper filter again. IMO. the pre filters that K&N offers is a loosely woven nylon material.

    i made mine on the 88 yj with irigation tubing, and on the 95... the cone filter attatches to the stock air tube.
    i like it. if you spend a lot of time on the dirt you ight want to invest in one of those "pre filter" socks :yay: so you dont have to clean it as often. i am trying a piece of panty hose on it as a pre filter. i'll let you know how that works out.
