I was going through my before season maintenance thinking of ways to modify the stock air box and get rid of that plume attached to the hood. ![Light :light: :light:](https://www.snowest.com/forum/images/smilies/old/light.gif)
This is what I came up with, tell me what you think...should have on snow testing by next weekend I will keep you updated.
I drilled a series if holes in the aluminum directly below the air box and glued pre-filter material directly to it, I then cut the bottom of the air box out and glued pre-filter on that as well. I removed the accordion boot from the air box and sealed it with a 5.5 inch frogskin. Under this portion of the bulkhead is the most protected place on the sled and I figure that it won't have a deep powder bog due to where it draws air and....no intake noise. I also think that the air box filling the gap in the front of the sled adds structural integrity as well as some cushion if you did smack a tree.
The third picture is looking through the top of the air box down at where it will be drawing air.
