If you are really close to all that sand and salt in the air, I would stay with the stock pleated paper filter. Clean it by blowing it out with every oil change. Here in the Idaho high desert we have a lot of dirty sandy grit in the air. As much as I'd like to install a RamAir filter, I just can't bring myself to do it.
BTW: I think the RamAir filter kit is the best out there to have under the Bearclaw. (Side Cover).
Another BTW: Getting us to Vote for #1 or #2 would be better if you wrote something next to each number.
