just wanted to point out a few spots the 12's were ingesting snow that were kind of non typical.
if you flip your sled on its side, theirs two holes on each side of the front inter cooler right in front of the drivers/where the track clears the tunnel, the one on the left will actually fling snow into your clutch area and under your motor, i gooped a bunch of silicone in this area.
silicone the boots around your a-arms where they attach to your bulkhead. silicone the little square holes ect where the stock bumper attaches to the bulkhead.
the peace of plastic that goes under your seat like a saddle, on the left side bend this peace of plastic up with some minor heat and it will seal the gap that the removable side panel will then rest against
seal the left foot well, i just used gorilla tape right on the aluminum and it lasted all season, if you dont seal the brake rotor behind the secondary then put some gorilla tape over the holes that will prevent you from kicking snow on the rotor.
the front nose cone needs both sides blocked off, or vented. if you do not address this issue you will funnel snow right to your clutches/exhaust
a good method i found for getting your side panels to seal is to find anywhere theres a gap, spray the chassis plastic with brake clean and let dry, then spray the side panel with any kind of oil, (wd 40, ect)
this will make the silicone stick to the chassis plastics but not to your side panel.
there is a nice gap in the front top of the side panel where you have to lift it over the chassis plastic, snow melts and drips down on your clutches from there.
if you look in your intake there are actually air gaps where the plastics mold together. seal this off with rtv black silicone, on the top part of the air box near where the pipe is, put aluminum foil tape as the pipe heat is warming up your intake are robbing you of some performance. but when your doing this look at the gaps the intake is snapped together, silicone these gaps.
a good trick is to get in a dark room and put a flashlight in your intake the little holes will pop out everywhere! add goop till you cant see any light coming through the intake anywhere!
i used door trim thats from lowes with double sided sticky tape on one side (3 bucks) to replace the stock ac crappy foam that falls right out, this sealed my intake nicely too.
