Made Snorkels

I just made some snorkels for the little RZR after spending much time reviewing what you had all done. I have gone with Crow belts and the bar behind the seat. Since I did not want to cut the body panels, I went through the holes left by the stock seat belts after I removed them.

Here are the pics

1. Fabricating them with PVC pipe



2. Passenger Side Fabrication



3. Drivers side Fabrication



4. Passenger side pre paint

Rear view painted



You will see in the rear view I have the Vent Racing intake along with the new belt support bar. Instead of using both bolts on each side for the support bar, I only used one each side, but angled the bar slightly forward before tightening it up. The Vent Racing intake fits perfect now, no touching the bar and no holes drilled in any of the body. I also made the final verticals slightly shorter before painting.

Next will be the front bumper bar, skid plates and exhaust...whew.

Re: Made Snorkels

I used 1.25" PVC tubing.

If you are referring to the "backend" as the top of the two snorkels, those are two 90 degree pieces. One of them is the type with the end that fits directly into the other. I had no PVC pipe between them.

Re: Made Snorkels

Re: Made Snorkels

Do you think you need to have the pvc extend that high above the rear bar ? I have snorkled the pipes behind my rear seats through the location of the old seat belts. I am thinking of leaving the relocation of the cvt behind the seats. Any opinion on not extending them up in the air. I felt just getting them out from behind the rear tires was good. Thanks for any help .

Re: Made Snorkels

As long as you are not restricting the intake and exhaust on the snorkel they can be shorter. Mine were that long because my son liked the look.
