ellison445 Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 I just dropped my air box and went with the toomey 2-1 with outewear...Im a little confused now. I have some people telling me I need to stay away from mud and sand and some people telling me they ride in mud and sand and have no problems. Anyone run this filter and do you have and insight on this? P.S I run the Foam Unifilter... Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallrat Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 I would make an effort to avoid open water and really deep mud but you can deal with sand no problem. I really recomend getting a air filter skin though. Basically its like a thin sock that you spray with filter oil and pull over the filter. Not having an airbox means your filter is gonna get dirty quicker. With the skin, just pull it off and stick on another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holyman Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Avoid water that is higher than the carbs. Otherwise it is just as safe as the stocker. Enjoy the ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincster Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Don't ride in deep water. Everything else is good to go. Hope you jetted up ALOT when you made the change. I went from 310 mains to 370 mains with my 2:1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincster Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Did you notice a difference in performance with the 2-1? Oh yeah you notice a big difference. It really helps the bike breath better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickxc Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 if you are using foam, try fab 1 air filter oil. That stuff is awsome, it stops everything.. just say out of deep water and youll be fine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickxc Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 ya think I would gain alot if I changed from an airbox with a prodesign foam to a toomey 2:1... ???? Im wondering if I should, or if I should just stick with my prodesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meat Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 My 2 cents. man i ran one of them Toomey 2:1 for a few years and they're nifty, but I couldnt hit water like Id like to hit water. If I'd drive through a big puddle id be fine, but if I was bizzin' down the trail and was going to fast to slow down for the big puddle...... id drown out the quad. I ran a waterproof outwear too. If I hit water that it would splash up onto my goggles.... I can almost gaurentee the quad will go right into a bogging fit and sputter and coughs for a half mile. At first I didnt want to beleive it was the open air filter, I was thinking my water bogging might be electrical or something dealing with the Banshee carb slide mystery problem. I would hit a puddle and get splashed pretty good, stop the quad, take off the seat and there's water droplets all beaded up on the Outerwear, pull the Outerwear off and I can feel water in the foam of my filter. SOOOOO..... a few weeks ago I put my ol' airbox back on..... and guess what..... I can hit water all day long and I havent gotten my dreaded bog since the box has been back on. Im running the box without the lid on and with a UNI foam filter just like the Toomey had. The quad definetly is running richer with the airbox on, but I didnt rejet it for the box because of the upcoming colder weather. Now the riding temps are in the mid 60's, low 70's, my main jets are right on, if not a tad rich. There was a power loss, but really honestly not that much. What I did notice was the throttle response seemed more responsive with the airbox installed, almost like it created a better vaccum for the carbs to suck air.
