Not sure how efficient something works that relies on motor intake to spin the fans

 

I know. The first S&B did not have a fan and was not that hot. The KWT may be sized per machine, which would help. New product deserves a close look. At the price point, do not want to be the tester.

 

I assume you saw my postings in the other thread with the results between the 2
Biased or not they were results and KWT wasn't even close
Considering they're both the same price I wouldn't even think of buying the KWT

 

Nope. Missed it. How about a link to it.

 

I deleted the thread. The poster was just selling his product and was on another forum that we had a dispute together

Just a heads up on the KWT particle separator before anyone wastes their money.
Found this info on another site and thought I would put it up here:

I purchased a KWT Separator while at Camp RZR as I too thought their claims were "interesting". We tested it against the S&B Particle Separator. I will let the test results speak for themselves. We are only interested in publishing facts and have included test details and pictures. We have spent close to a million dollars on our climate control lab, and it is one of the best in the country. In our lab, we test to the ISO 5011 Filtration Test Standard and use ISO Test Dust. I also sent these results over to KWT and gave them over a week to respond in case we made any errors. I got no response. Please let me know if you have any questions. - Berry

Thanks. That is what I figured. Vortex needs a steady and know amount of air to function best, much like a Dyson vacuum needs to work well.

 

I know nothing of KWT, but I certainly think a lot of S&B. I too am quite convinced a passive system just won't do. 185 nailed it in post #2: Something passive like this can't, won't, protect you at lower CFM demands. Much of the time we're in trail, part throttle dealing with dust. I don't get to ride enough to justify it, but if I did I'd own and S&B.

 

I can say that after 7 months of dusty trail riding (over 1k mile). My S&B exceeds my expectations. The air box & filter is super clean! No dust inside the box, and I even removed to filter and tapped it on the driveway, no dust cam out! Well worth the money!

 

Do yourself and your machine a favor, install the S&B Particle Separator, it is simply amazing how well they work. Best money l ever spent on the machine!

 

I can't wait for the S&B CVT separators to be available. I think it would really extend clutch life.

 

Been running the KWT for over a year now, dusty so cal desert stuff. Not sure it does much, filter gets just as dirty as it use to. I dont know, maybe it works a little? Next car I'm going with the S&B.

 

Regardless of what I read on the internet, I'm always skeptical about claims on how something performs. The S&B is awesome. When you can go an entire season in the desert and the filter has next to nothing in it, that's exceptional.

I just had to buy another one because I had a little flop over on some rocks and there was a perfectly placed rock that crushed the body of the S&B. I didn't even hesitate to spend the $400 to replace it.
