Was wondering if anyone has heard of an aftermarket snorkel becoming available any time soon. Idk if I can make a home made one in this case

I used 2" pvc pipe and ran it from the air box all the way to the front with only using one 90 elbow.The rest are 22 and 45's I also used a couple pieces of 2" black hose as well. I actually ran the pipe along the outside of the frame tight against the floor.Under the hood I have a filter that can be blown out.The filter is sitting right behind the rad cap and in front of the electric steering unit.
To make a 90 degree use a couple of 45 degree's with a short pipe between this way there's way less restriction. Or use four 22.5 The less bends the better.A long flowing bend is better then a sharp one.Mpnoonan said:The question is; how do you get the snorkel routed upward without restricting flow?
slowdryrider said:I removed the factory one completely.After reading the instructions in the rear panel install, I decided to remove the factory one.It say's that once you install the rear panel you have to clean and check the air filter after every ride ,because of all the extra dust that will get sucked in. I already knew that would happen as with any closed in cab it creates lots of dust behind the cab.My other machine's all sucked air from under the hood and to me that's were the least amount of dust/snow etc: is.

It runs just like before,How does it run now any loss of power with all that extra pipe?
