P500 Snorkeled my p 500 today

I think what your talking about is the air element which if I'm right is kinda like a mass air flow sensor it tells the computer the amount of air flow so it can adjust the fuel mixture and I left mine intact

Yeah I blew on that one so with further research it turns out to be a air temp sensor

Ok thanks, it looks like it is sealed on the inside of box but I wasn't sure if I should silicone around it

I did on mine and I was right on the function of the sensor just not the name lol and I'm resealing the intire box just to be on the safe side

Didn't hear any change in noise as far as performance it seems to have alittle better throttle response I'm going to put an hmf exhaust on it that I think in conjunction will waken it up a bit also I'm looking into jetting the carb I think it's the same carb as the 500 rubicon but I could be wrong so don't quote me there

Fuel injected

Fuel injected

Not sure don't know much about these things enlighten me please

I use a bit of grease on the lip of the airbox lid, it squishes out when I snap it in place and it prevents water from entering. And, its easy to remove and reseal that way.

Had a feeling this question would come up so after studying it for the last week here is my thoughts . I picked the triple stack in an effort to simulate the baffles in the stock snorkel . The extra fittings should create enough air turbulence for proper fuel mixture so that I could take the snorkel all the way to the air box instead of just cutting it in also I chose 1 1/2 pipe for the snorkel and adapted it up to 2" at the air box

that looks really cool! One of these days I'm going to have to get around to doing this... I have a back window, so I'm thinking I want to have the air inlet inside the cab.

Does it matter what type of grease to use to help seal it?

I have used axle grease once and then Vaseline another time. It really only needs enough to fill the channel in the lid so it squishes out just a little.
