BD, how much fabricating did you have to do for your intake? Do you have any detailed pics with instructions? I am not very good at fabbing things up. But, show me a good picture and some instructions, and I'm good to go! LOL.

here are more detailed pics of my intake.

That SLP pipe looks like it runs very close to the plastics in that new front. Have you ever had any problems with the hot pipe melting the body? I had to take my CPI pipe off after one very snowy day when the front vents got plugged with snow and it started to melt the side of the sled. I have almost the entire left side under the hood covered with heat tape now. I installed a whole bunch of new vents for this year and am going to get the pipe ceramic coated and see if it will work without melting stuff.

have had zero problems with heat, i have plenty of vents and it hasn't been an issue for me. as far as the air cleaner this year it is almost touching but i triple heat taped it hope it works. i had 3 inch on it last year with plenty of room but i thought the air flow was restricted and i have the 975 this year so i went to 4 inch first test and tune is hopefully going to be thanksgiving to the snowies so we will see.

I am sure I am going to have to modify my Tri-City intake to get the Skinz bumper to mount up. If I can't make it work I will probably be running the BiggDawg intake on mine too.
I just put in side panel vents and did some cutting to get more airflow through the timbersled vents I have where the little storage boxes used to be. I have a set of Fire and Ice hood vets to install too, so hopefully I will have completely eliminated the under hood heat problem.

Oh you know I am getting jealous of you and BigDawg's progress. I was catching up 'sorta' but now it is just getting out of hand

I can't invest that much without any mountains out back soon soon

update:

had it out in the snowies over thanksgiving and it ran great thank god. all the work has paid off.

got a couple of pcv auto tune maps made for the htg ecu it was 8-10% lean at idle and didn't want to idle well. added some fuel in the midrange and top end also. really shouldn't do much more to it cause it is running good but i am going to try my carls 975 ecu and see how it does and if i can run it with out the pcv.

i am running slp blue/pink primary with 11-68's turning 7700-7900 in powder and over reving on the trail pretty good. the secondary is team tied with the 75/59 .46 helix with the red/black spring. going to put the red/pink in for the next trip also going to try the 11-70's got to tinker or i wouldn't be me

thanks dave and yes it is nice to just have to tweak it now

 

[BIGGDAWG]

to the top some people have been asking about intakes, pics of mine are in this thread

 

[BIGGDAWG]

Just put my carls 975 flashed ecu in and went over everything, hadn't looked at it since my thanksgiving trip, now it is ready to rock for cooke city in feb.

want to see how it runs with the carls ecu and no map in the pcV.

also changed to a red/pink spring in my team tied secondary and went to 11-70 weights with my slp blue/pink primary spring. I was over reving a bit in the snowies. also switched to the 75-57 .46 helix to see what it does. a lot of changes hope they work, it was running pretty good before but i always have to tinker.

Once you get that Tied secondary figured out, I'm thinking about switching mine over. Did you see any noticeable difference in belt temps with it?

yes belt temps are down and the back shifting is way better. you let off and get back on it and it is right there on rpms, really noticable differances between the 2.
