Re: Home-made snorkels--incl. parts list
I don't really see why you have to do the engine breather. If it already vents inside the airbox and you snorke the air intake is'nt it already extended to the hieght of your snorkel tubes? Maybe I am missing something.

I have mine at roof level and just changed from 90's to 180's (pea traps) and noticed it is now extremely loud. I didn't really notice it with the 90's, but I do have speakers overhead. I added the 180's so no rain or splashed water would enter while riding in the rain on the creek. I'm considering putting the 90's back on pointed towards the rear for less noise..

Just came in from just about finishing up my snorkel. Decided to call it a night and finish up the details in the morning. THANKS FOR THE DIRECTIONS. I had to change some things (Had to use PVC and paint it black because there is no ABS around where i live i guess. and i had trouble centering all three of them. My new DFR air filter snorkel gets in the way and requires a 2 90's put together to move it over enough.) All in all wasn't that bad. Sure as hell beats paying 180+ for the same kit. I think I ended up spending less than 55.
I will post pics when i get a chance.
And by the way.... The DFR air box is money well spent. More airflow, more filtered clean air, and more power!
Thanks
Travis

I ran into a weird problem last week. I trailered through a rain storm and when I stopped I couldn't move the Rzr. Rain had somehow entered the CVT exhaust snorkel (facing REAR) and there was enough water in the belt housing that I couldn't get the belt to grab till I popped the cover loose & drained it.
Since this happened I've found a tennis ball fits the end of a 2" fitting

I believe that when you snorkel it, you plumb the intake, cvt, engine breather all by themselves. you basically bypass the air box that originally houses the vents together. -H

Re: Home-made snorkels--incl. parts list
Are you all together by passing the stock air cleaner and putting snorkel right to flex tube that goes to the throttle body?

Re: Home-made snorkels--incl. parts list
The snorkel just replaces the stock thin plastic plumbing with longer & larger pipes to above the factory intake location. The air still gets piped into the filter canister. This serves 3 purposes:
* Separates the engine & CVT intakes so they don't compete for the same air.
* The air is cleaner up higher so your filter lasts longer.
* The traditional purpose of snorkels is to enable you to cross deeper water.

Re: Home-made snorkels--incl. parts list
Hey guy, Im working on getting everything together to snorkel my S.
I noticed that you put outerwears on the two outside tubes, but it looks from your previous pics that your exhaust is not in the middle. It looks like your cvt exhaust is run on the passenger side, your cvt intake is in the middle, and your air intake is on the driver side.
I know my RZRs cvt sucks air in through what your calling the lower boot, and blowing air out of the tube on the cvt cover.
So, did you accidently put an outerwear on the cvt exhaust, or did you mean to?
Thanks

 Give that man a prize! 
I caught my mistake but never got around to taking a replacement closeup picture. You're the only one who's mentioned it.

Re: Home-made snorkels--incl. parts list
Did you fix it or did you leave it like it is and put the filter on the middle one.
I sat last night, trying to make a system that worked to have the cvt exhaust in the middle, but there were too many fittings that would have to be used, and I just couldnt get the exhaust to make a loop and end up on center. Im probably still going to do mine like yours, due to it being simple and less restrictive.
Thanks, Jon
P.S. - All this time, and Im the first to catch that? Wonder how many people have filters on their exhaust out there. lol

Re: Home-made snorkels--incl. parts list
Where did you buy the Rubber Couplers, I live in Texas and ABS is next to impossible to find here. I am going to order the fittings from Genova products online. When I spoke to them they said they did not have the rubber couplers? What is the Actual use for the Couplers maybee that will help me find them locally???????? Thanks

Re: Home-made snorkels--incl. parts list
Rubber couplers are used in plumbing. I found ABS and couplers in the plumbing dept at Lowes.
