Theres an adapter available from Safari to get rid of it, they also sell longer section of 3inch pipe to go from the airbox to the adapter which replaces the precleaner.
Im pricing one tomorrow, will let yer know.

most snorkel fitments I,ve done !!!
do away with pre cleaner , just run the main !!!!
but if you are concerned , you can get a snorkel pre cleaner sock !!!!
it goes in at the top of your snorkel , just under the head !!!!
just fit it wen you know you are going in lotsa dust !!!!

K & N do make a filter to fit the precleaner, but they don't seal very well around the bottom because of the protruding rivets - some self adhesive door sealing foam (hardware store item) will do the trick. Because of the way the intake comes straight into the precleaner box, bugs and shiat will clog the fins of the KN. Simple fix - stick one of the missus's stockings over the filter element - the fine fabric gauze prevents the large stuff entering the steel guaze and making it a real pain to clean. The stockings also seem to prolong the filter term before cleaning.
