Interesting air filter tests

Interesting; I rode a 500 quadzilla and 250 quadracers out in the desert for 4 yrs., running K-N air filters, no foam over them, the secret to them is ''almost dripping'' w/ oil/trans fluid .' Never found sand in the intake or engine , the highly modifyed air box always had sand in them ---------

Does keeping them almost dripping restrict the air flow ?
