air intake and filter housings...
post pics of your baja or buggy air filter set ups and explain why you use it over other methods... have to make one for my buggys webber carby...
who here just uses a pod filter with no housing? what are the issues regarding rain/water??
am thinking of running some tubing to the back of the body or above the rear guard to an airbox...
show us what you got...

I've got a snorkel and a uni-filter, works well, but they don't like getting too wet.

I had a donaldson filtre on my manx, removed it and fitted a pod filtre, the induction noise was cool for a while but ended up getting on my nerves.
Also they are useless offroad, they clog up with dust quick, if it rains they get water in them blah blah blah..... just to say I now again have the
donaldon back on with a sand trap pre cleaner.

Don't know how mine is going to go yet, its almost ready for the road! Has a basic roundey-silvery filtery thing on it, nothing flash, although the
mechanic says the guy who built the car didn't put it on properley and it was just rocking around in the breeze! From memory I think it was a
'Borg' brand?
As for performance in the wet, I hope not to find out for a while, as I have no roof etc. The filter is partially under the body of the car...if I
get to the stage where I have water ingestion problems in the filter, I as driver will already be soaking wet, the seats and carpet will be stuffed,
and I'll be cranky!
Crappy pic I know....

Gee, not much room... I've seen an old 1970s Holden six cylinder air cleaner housing rigged up; the tube to the carb was mounted on the original
intake 'snorkel' and the engine breathed through the original carby hole. ie: The airflow went 'backwards' to the original Holden design. Cheap,
strong housing and $10 aircleaners that were big enough to feed big power; therefore no restriction and plenty of dust retention capability.
Pay your debts, CxxT

They are awful. Get rid of it. They clog badly and make the engine run really rich. Once did a Khanacross with one on and it got so clogged that the
motor would cut out every 15 minutes on the way home.
Having said that, it would shoot foot long flames out the exhaust on trailing throttle...my wife said "your beetle farts flames!":P

I've a Donaldson sitting on the back-you should be able to see it in my avatar-It's plumbed in for 2 carbs on a type 4 and it's worked well for
years. Once had a pod filter on a type 1 years back but I think with the amount of shit and sand that gets thrown up under the bodywork it wouldn't
have lasted long before getting stuffed. You could always go the way of the Haflinger 4x4 which had a little 2 stroke engine at the back but was
plumbed in to an air intake right at the front!

Here's mine..
Donaldson on a custom made bracket welded to the engine cage..
I won't use anything else ever again for off roading...
Be sure and mount it up high, to give it every chance of getting clean air..
If no one has one here for sale, try the 4wd wreckers.. they'll have lots...
.
I hate to admit it, but man, I think you're right....
