Snorkel/Ram Air Intake

[joeymt33]

For those interested, my snorkel is 2" diameter pipe with a screen to prevent large debris. Today I did some timed runs with the air box lid removed. I could not tell difference. So, I don't think a larger pipe will help. I do think the ram air snorkel is a good idea though.

New to the site. Thanks guys for the great info. Got a question. Why could you not use some of that flexible electrical conduit in 2" diameter. The thick gray pipe. Like you would see exposed at the bottom of electric meter center. Wouldn't that eliminate the need for measuring and couplings? Leave the pipe connected at the air box ,cut off factory chambers like simpleman did. Run the flexible pipe right up behind passenger seat. End the flexible pipe right behind but not higher than the roof??? Then put 180 degree turn in it For rain issues. Been dealing with receiver hitch issues. But the snorkel and front windshield are next.

I can't see why flexible pipe wouldn't work. I think everyone's using rigid pipe because its smooth on the inside, or could be personal preference.

Hey SXS friends. Just an update on the snorkel performance..... This is what my air filter looks like after a week long hunting trip in the dusty dry mountains of northern California! I did 300 miles in 7 days. I am very impressed to say the least! Like I said in other posts the snorkel location I chose was for cool clean air. I don't run a filter on the inlet pipe so I did get some leaves and pine needles in the air box but it was very minimal..... Just pulled off the water drain at the bottom of the box and the debris fell out... I hope this answers some questions on how well the relocation works out.

I made a snorkel today based on the designs here. The factory snorkel at the box fits 2.5" sch 40 conduit perfectly but it's too tight outside the box to fit and get the bends made so I went with standard 2" like most everyone else. If there were more options for 2.5" pvc that would be the best way to go as you would not neck down at all. Factory necks down from the 2.5" to 2" roughly.

Sent you an email with pics and a description. I went with a K &N air filter with the pre filter installed over that. Since the relocation of the air inlet I have had very little dirt show up on the filter. Hope it helps. Any questions ask around. This group has done quite a bit of mods to the 700 and has been great at sharing info and ideas!

Simpleman please send me your info as well i have been wanting to snorkel my p7004 since i joined our local mud park/camp area

The RAM idea looks good. One suggestion: Carry an additional 90 with you on days that it might rain. Turn it down so you don't inhale rain water.

Not a bad idea. So far I haven't had any water problems in the few storms I've ridden in.
