Twin Air ATV Powerflow Intake Kit - Project QuadSport Z400 ATV - Off-Road.com
We were preparing Project Z400 for it's
next desert race. We were expecting significant silt and wanted to
make sure we had a good air filter and one that would be easy to
replace during a pit stop. Twin air has recently released their
line of ATV Powerflow kits which use a new cage system that seals
to the air box to eliminate leaks and can still be removed easily.
We do NOT want dirt in our motor as reliability is extremely
important for long desert races. The dual stage filters are
designed with a course outer layer with an open pore to catch
airborn dirt and sand. Then the fused inner foam layer is fine and
is designed to trap very small particles while still allowing
maximum air flow. We ordered the Suzuki / KFX 400 Power Flow Kit
and an extra filter for our Project Z400.Installation

The Twin Air filter cage adaptor bolted to the
inside of the air box. The bolts were just barely long enough and
could have been just slighlty longer. We applied lock tite to make
sure they stayed in place.

We slip the new air filter over the cage.

Summary
The Twin Air kit is a definete improvement over stock. We like the new mounting system and after just returning from the Terrible's Town 250 we can say we are very happy with it's perfomance and did not find any problems with our new intake kit from Twin Air. The price is a little steep at $124.95 but how much does a new motor cost? We will soon be testing the Twin Air air box cover which fits over the mounting ring and keeps dirt and water out of the carb while washing the air box.
