Gauze or Foam air filter for the dunes?

Whats everyone running on their side by sides? I'm interested in upgrading my stock filter on my '10 Teryx. I'm gonna go with a billet adapter but can't decide between a gauze (K&N, or Dasa style) or foam (UNI) filter. I have ran a K&N on my raptor for years with no problems, but recently i have read a lot of things about how much better the foam filters are. Especially in the sandy and dusty area's like Dumont. Some people also say that if gauze filters are better then why do all manufacturers put foam filters on quads and side by sides. Also performance wise are they about the same? Thank you for your opinions and advice.

I have been running K&N with outterwear in my Rhino and my VW rail for years and no problems. I have heard that it is better to run foam w/foam oil at Coral Pink because it is a finer dust there. I can't confirm that but that is what I do to be safe at coral.

The big issue with any of these is the oil. If you don't have the filter oil right, that will cause the main issues. Too little, sand, too much sucking in oil (at least at first).

I am still using stock filters, once these wear out i think i will go to Uni. I don't trust the K&N personally. I also don't think there is much power to be gained. .5HP isn't going to make any difference.
