I believe the pre filter is foam but the main is paper. One of my Sportsmans had the set-up you are showing. I looked up the filter on polarispartshouse.com and it uses the same filter as my 2011 RZR4 800.

 

Thanks for your reply.
I took the old filter and housing cover to the dealer. The replacement paper filter has two part numbers printed on the bottom. #7081566 on the top. And #6124121 on the bottom. See pic.
The question the dealer could not answer was the low spot on the cover housing. There are three mechanical latches and a fourth catch that serves as a hinge point. The cover dips down at this location. See picture. Is this normal? They didn't have a new one for comparison.

Yes that is normal. All the oem filters I have purchased had a small round piece of foam that is glued to the filter in that divot where the part numbers are showing in your pic. But it wont hurt for it to not be on there, I have ran them both ways.

 

Thank you, but I'm actually questioning the divot in the housing cover itself as seen in the second picture?

 

Also normal. Its like a hinge for the airbox lid. Just make sure you get it lined up correctly when installing.

 

polarispartshouse.com is a great place to cross reference parts since polaris updates numbers. The divot is to keep the filter centered on the inner housing tube. This is the polaris part number and from personal experience polaris brand is the only one I will use, aftermarket ones let too much dust through.

Sounds great! I really appreciate the responses

 

The "divot" is normal. It allows the cover to clear the housing, as it pivots on the hinge point.
