UNI filters are foam, they use and a oil based product to catch any particles, they are washable/reusable just like K&N. I use them on quads, just have to make sure the oil soaks in before use or the intake gets coated. UNI is used more with atv’s and offroad vehicles than K&N. ---

> [@Jimshorts](#): > > Just saw that post for the glen on 4/22. How is it just following the pace car. Are you allowed to open your car up at all. I could possibly make that a weekend trip and see if a roommate wants to go. He can videotape me pulling away. Everyone opens up their car a bit. It depends on the group you’re running with. If it’s all old men, they tend to take the turns slower and slow down before gunning it on the front straight. ---

On my quad I usually do it about 3-4 times a summer but I also ride in dusty conditions and mud. On a car im not sure, maybe every 4-6 months, or less. Its easy to see the condition of the filter. UNI has a kit that has the cleaner and oil. ---

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a high end setup using foam filters on cars and they’ve always scared me a little, but I’m probably being paranoid. ---

I agree. K&N seem to breath better but need the pre-filter to catch dust/dirt, uni catches dust/dirt better. Info is just based on peoples reviews for offroad, no idea on real test results. Either way both flow more than a stock paper filter. ---

> [@Scott](#): > > Those are CLS offsets, dont lower it any more unless you hate your fenders. Just a heads up Yea I’m already really close when in sport 2. They would definitely rub if I went any lower. I think they are 285s in the rear. ---
