Ive been looking around and have seen that a few guys have put m1000 air boxes into thier M7s. Has anyone done this and if so is there any major power gains?

Some guys have swapped out the snorkel for one off of the 03-06 440 sno pro. the 440 one is just a little bigger. If you still want to use the stock hood/headlight intake, putting a different box probably won't do much for a stock M7.
It is the same airbox.
I ran a mod shop airbox for the first time yesterday on my m7. Over all it worked great, Motor ran great. Lost like 8 lbs. Its more for weight loss than hp gains.
The Bad... As you will find with any airbox on the 7's the intake noise is loud. Much louder than the 8's..

I think I read somewhere(DynoTech, I think?) that the best HP is with the stock box/snorkle.
However, I couldn't stop myself, I cut mine up for the weight savings.
I tried just about everything when I had my M7....stock worked best. The stock box only weighs like 1 pound, not sure where guys are seeing weight savings unless they ditch the plunum.
Stock box with a mesh hood is the best overall setup IMHO....drops weight and draws cool air.

order the snopro airbox, super lightweight and works great!

THey are nice, I have on in an 06 Mod Sno Pro that will probably make it onto my M1000 next week. Are you guys running the Sno Pro plastic cover also, or just letting it suck air from everywhere? Does snow build up on it if not using the plastic sheet?
