3D Logic Matryx Intake

[FatDogX]

For those of you looking to add some increased intake flow and looking to aid in relieving powder bog, here's an option I went with. It's the 3D Logik Ribcage.

I started looking around for something and I ended up narrowing it down to 3D Logik and Boondocker. After looking at the two closer, reading reviews and talking to a couple other guys, I decided on the 3D Logik. I don't think you can go wrong either way but I did like the overall construction of the Ribcage a tick better as it's heavy duty plastic vs. aluminum. I didn't know if the aluminum could run the risk of getting bent up when rolling the sleds over and over and well over......LOL. I also liked the look of the Ribcage a tick better as it looks a little more factory as it doesn't have the exposed mounted screws on the sides like the Boondocker.

Install was a breeze as its very straight forward and once done it looks pretty dang cool!

Anyways, just a little info and pictures on a product if you happen to be looking.

Looks great. Pretty much OEM

Looks cool, but does it do anything once it’s covered with powder?

Its gotta help… some of the competitors factory replacement solutions help but aren’t really the solution either, pretty much relying more surface area equaling a higher likely hood of snow falling off of somewhere… plus they explode with a little knee contact.

It would be nice if Polaris would step up figure it out. The boost doesn’t get enough air, period.

The boost is easier to add air with the mtntk intake.

Zero issues on mine.

How long have you ridden with the Mtntk intake? I wonder how often the infamous powder bog is from plugged vents vs plugged exhaust. Any thoughts?

I ran it all last season.

Both are contributors stock. In my experience 70% intake and 30% exhaust.

With the mtntk intake you only have to worry about the exhaust.

May be the type of snow everybody rides but from our experience it is much more the exhaust getting restricted than the intakes getting plugged. We always see much more bog when the right side is buried in the snow and almost never when it's up and out of the deep stuff.

Yeah it's often -20F and dry fine powder collecting on the stock intakes.

Throttle blips will clear some of it but not as well as the old aftermarket turbo kit on my axys.

Exhaust bog is definitely real too.

That said a couple days last year in real deep snow I was dealing with near constant bog even with the Ibexx intakes. A swipe of the intake and good to go till covered again.

So what you are saying, is we need a small motorized snow brush, like a windshield wiper, but for snow on the intakes

Better than the Boondocker. wish i would have gone this direction but hindsight is what it is

Looks a little more refined for sure. But they accomplish the same thing.

Is this mostly just a Boost problem? How are the 9Rs for bogging? I picked one, but no snow to try it out.

 

[JH@CM]

They all bog, but the boosts need more air than NAs.

Give it a try in deep snow and see what you think.

Really deep snow 9r and boost were really boggy last year. Both basically stock. Mainly going downhill with snow going over the top of you.

Is there any type of seal on the ribkage to keep snow from getting in where the intake mates up to the console or is it a good tight fit?

Short answer.....yes

 

[kylant]
