Intake deflector for XP

Alternative

Heres the "Tube", cheap (~$10), easy to install, about 8 minutes, and lets the air come before the sensor. Pics attached of after riding in 4' pow we were in and the frozen stock DOO inlet, never missed a beat nor dropped RPM.

You go to Lowes or Home Depot, get the 1.5 inch od "Sump Pump" corrugated tube it comes in 20' I think, If you have XP friends, you can split this huge cost ;).

Take a 1-3/4in hole saw, center your hole in the front of the air box, once done, get a vacuum (small attachment - or gerry rig a tighon tube ) to suck out the debris inside). shove in the tube (might hafta use a screwdriver), then cut the length long enuf to wind it over the brace above the muffler and I rested ours above the oil resevoir, just let it lay there. I also took large porus mesh and covered the inlet just to keep out any possible large debris. It works when boondockin in the deepest pow over the hood. However, still have a cut out with a power carve to the inlet side. Don't know why.

I have a 154x and added the RPM Composites air intake deflector. I added it just before going on a three day trip to the mountains. After about ten minutes of craving in deep deep power the sled still bogs. I am not sure if it helps or not.

It is not any more difficult to clean. The other reason for buying it was to prevent sharp branches from poking a hole in the prefilter. It works for that. I always check and clean the filter before going up a hill because I cannot trust when it will bog. It seems a thin coating of snow is OK but after a few minutes it gets thick enough to cause a bog.

Slim...I like this idea. I'm always a little skeptical about cutting or drilling holes though. Anyone have negative experiences with drilling holes in the air box??
 
Someone posted a link to a company that makes one outta carbon fibre...deflects the snow away from the air intake?? I cant find it anywhere....anybodyknow??
I put two 2.5 inch flowrights in the main air box just under the tack and speedo cluster. Made a big diferance in the deep powder. Will try to post pic's
