I'm using a filter/adapter from AGK. The K&N style.
Despite how people say UNI's are good for high dust and dirt applications, I found this not true. I used a properly oiled UNI for my kart in July around dust and sand and on the first day of riding I found full grains of sand in the carb adapter along with a layer of dust. I've since moved to a K&N style with an oiled foam pre-filter and dont have that problem. Im not trying to badmouth UNI, but I just wanted to make it known to the OP that if you ride in sand and dusty conditions you might want to do what I did. Even thought the UNI did seem to flow better, the size of particles it was letting through was unacceptable IMO. Good luck, an air filter and header should make it feel a lot better!

Maybe you didn't properly install your filter? Because I have a back tire that literally throws dirt into the filter and there isn't a spec of dirt in my carb.
It was installed properly with the clamp as tight as I could make it. I used an AGK adapter modified to fit a 7hp Subaru. It was sealed with the gasket with no spaces or cracks at all. I oiled both the red layer and the black layer, probably even a little too much for extra assurance. The place where the AGK adapter gets smaller to fit the carb was lined with sand. I wish I would have gotten a pic! lol I havent had a problem since I changed filters. The adapter etc hasn't changed which is what let me know it had to be the UNI. I wish I could have kept it since it flowed so well, but I needed my engine to last. 
i have noticed with the UNI's on atvs that they degrade quickly. either they are using the wrong foam oil or something. i applied some aerosol foam oil to my stock filters foam, it is degrading quicker than just being left out in the sun. when i use to do grounds keeping, we washed the foam in gas, and coated with regular oil. they lasted like that. it was the green foam.
