K&N?

My last Sportsman was a ’07 700. I put on a K&N filter and a jet kit in the carb (nothing to the exhaust) and it was a big improvement over stock. I guess my question is would an upgraded air filter have much improvement on the newer EFI models without anything done to the exhaust? I’m not looking for super speed or power just a minor upgrade from the factory.

2016 outlander 1000 xmr not starting.

Yesterday I was riding was trying to cross a pretty water filled hole but was no deeper then the bottom of my seat. Eventually made it through after some work but did not stop the machine or shut it off. After crossing my machine seamed some what sluggish so I stopped and pulled air filter. the filter was dry on the inside and didn’t appear to be any in the intake. After riding a few minutes longer it was back to normal had a awesome ride loaded up machine left it in my truck over night. Brouhjt it with me to work to wash it went to unload and machine would only turn over but not start at all. Check engine light came on as well as limp home mode. Unloaded out kf my truck proceeded to try to start eventually after a few tries it started but would not stay running. I pulled air filter was dry. Checked oil and it was a little bit runnt dripping off the dip stick. I don’t understand how I could take in any water though I’ve seen people go through a lot worse on there xmrs. Anyways I’ll be draining the oil tomororw morning and flushing it once. Anyone have a similar expierence? Hoping it just takes one engine flush and anew filter to be back to Normal
