Recommendations for intake pod? "...the powder was so bad..."

[garafajon]

For years my friends and I have laughed at something a coworker said: "...the powder was so bad...". He was trying tube with the scouts and they couldn't make it down the hill, so I get it but it is just something that should never escape anyone's lips!

Anyway, this year I'm going with 2014 KTM 500 EXC's after a less-than-stellar experience last season with older carbed setups. The main problems were (in order):
- improper carb jetting
- snow clogging air intake
- e-start too wimpy for big-bore mod
- flooding and spilling when tipped over

The new bike should solve all of these except maybe the air intake so I'm liking the idea of getting a pod. (Good article here suggested it: http://snoriderswest.com/article/inside-your-ride/customizing_your_snow_bike#.UlG8VhYZ0eF)

Where should I start? Can I buy one all set up like the turbo from boondockers.com (which is also tempting, but probably unnecessary at this point)?

I've got the same bike and would also like to know where to get the pod setup from.

We put Pod filters on all of our bikes. Except the KTM's.
We find KTM leave air box lid off. and cut off small area at bottom of airbox so snow can just fall off pre filter. been working great for 3 seasons.

Pods

I have the pod setup for sale on eBay. Search snowbike.

Timbersled also sells pod filters and pre-filters as their required for the sx kits.
