K&N air charger
I just put a K&N air charger in today....I just hope it holds up when I go mudding. I also bought a dry charger for it form them also, which is supposed to prevent the filter form getting wet. It's a water repellant cover for the filter.

Re: K&N air charger
How you like it so far?
I'm undecided between K&N and Volant
K&N looks like it would be able to ?provide? more air, as there is no restriction from box.
But Volant protects filter from mud.

Re: K&N air charger
You all should check out all the OLD posts about K&N and the other after market Cold Air systems.
Remember the H-3 already gets cold air from under the right wheel well, not from under the hood...

Re: K&N air charger
I have a K&N 66, new in sealed box, for the H3 if anyone wants it for the posted price. I still have it posted in the classifieds.
As far as performance, I think there is much more response - albeit it slightly noisy.

Re: K&N air charger
Great idea on the dry charger. I have the 77 series K&N intake and just ordered the dry charger. I was also concerned about possible mud and or water on the filter. I thought about closing up the gaps between the heat shield and the engine compartment, but this will solve those problems. I am very happy with my intake, it is noticeably louder during heavy acceleration, but quiet when cruising. It does make a difference in the get up and go.

Re: K&N air charger
I went through some kinda deep water this weekend and a mud pit. The engine compartment is totally trashed and dirty except the for K&N area it is actually somewhat clean. I had no problems at all.

I just went through some mud today. The heat shield did it's job. The rest of the engine compartment was dirty, but no problems with the air filter.

I used my drycharger filter today on my intake. It did it's job! Very little gets past the heat shield. I did not notice any power loss with the dry charger on, but the intake seemed to run quieter than usual. I am very pleased with the intake and the dry charger!
