yeah but will it work in muddy wet conditions? Not bashing your setup i agree that it is a great mod for the price... but it still has the same downfalls as Abbotts filter setup. Not everyone rides only dry conditions and i think there has to be a better setup than stock for muddy wet conditions. jmo

Are you talking totally submerging your bike or just splash protection. I will be building an aluminum airbox in the near future, but it will be splash only protection. I need to build it and test it, but I will post the pics and specs when I'm done. I might even be able to sell you one. Time and patience.
Hey guys, I did a similar mod to my moto just this past weekend. I could definitely tell a difference. Iceracer, the airfilter is backwards, isn't it? I thought the air was supposed to flow the other way? It shows an arrow on the side of the one i used. I have the filter inside the upper airbox, I siliconed, and glued it in and only the fins from the paper stick up. The filter i used is slightly larger (i think) than iceracer's and mounted directly above and slightly infront of the airhorn.
This definitely made the bike faster, I had to give it a lot more fuel. It wasn't the full throttle acceleration that shocked me, but the part throttle improvement and throttle response.

I think the dilema with any airbox mod for xc guys is this. Most of letting more air in involves giving dirt an easier path into your airbox. I ride at least 2 or 3 races a year where our stock set-up is a blessing. I watch as guys are backfiring due to mods they have done to their quads. I think Sillyspeeds Idea will work, but you would definitely need a second airbox top just to have that extra security when you needed it.
