Has there been any on the snow testing of this kit? Wondering if there is a chance of snow ingestion or lots of powder getting into the engine compartment. Love the looks and theory of this. Just a little unsure of how it will work on the snow.

Not that I'm aware of. It's not like a pipe mod where a potential melt down or lack of increase HP is a possibility. This kit designed by the right people with an understand of what it's purpose is can build something without testing it. It's one of those things that the purpose is to narrow it up and shave a bunch of weight. This kit has so much open area for the engine to pull air from that I think the ingestion part is a non issue. The intake is sealed from the bottom to the top with tons of venting for heat evacuation. I know it's a lot of $$ to trust that it will work but I think Skinz has a reputation for building products that work. Their knowledge of snowmobiles and performance is seen in the kit when you see it in person. It's just my opinion but I wouldn't think twice about doing this kit if I had a Cat.
 
Well, putting a product like this on the snow without real world testing is asking for issues. Who knows, there might be no issues and it will work great. I've been around long enough to know that well engineered products sometimes don't work so well when the general public gets a hold of them. Way too many variables. What happens when there is a 4 foot dump and this thing can't breath. Might work fine but your not gonna know till it's on the snow.

Its a chance some will take and others not so much. I guess we'll find out here pretty quick. I have faith its going work flawlessly as I've seen it in person.
 
Been wondering that myself. Main reason I've waited for a kit like this is because of intake bogging on the other light hood kits out there. I haven't been too impressed by the intakes and how they have them oriented. Wyoboy had one on his 14, and it would bog on super deep days where my stock hood/intakes have never bogged from snow clogging them.

This was the case with my mountain fit hood witch otherwise was great cuz of the 12lbs loss I got, but on the days where the snow was deep and stock hoods would not bog out as much or at all.
 
Skinz says their can is 5" diameter round shape. If yours is similar size and construction it will "probably" work.
 
Diamond S Ti can doesn't work. Well unless you don't mind it resting against the side panel. It hits on the bottom and top. Bottom you can trim the plastic on the skinz kit, top you might be able to use a ton of heat tape, but not sure how long that will last with vibrations + heat.

Bugger, thats the can I wanted to use
 
^theres other Ti cans out there, lighter, less money, and still baffled for lower sound levels... Look at the SSI cans.

Is yours the quite or loud one. The loud one is smaller.
 
Quiet. It's the top of the can you need to worry about, I think the light can bumps out starting at the same spot on the top as the quiet. But would have to visually compare to the quiet to know for sure.
