Upgrading air intake

I'm thinking of upgrading my air intake system on my 2010 Rzr-S. I think I'm going with the UMP system. Any special things to take into consideration when doing the install, and how much HP can I expect from this upgraded?

The biggest problem I see with the stock or after-market filters is they are to small. The rzr can suck like the women of your dreams and with these small filters they just suck and swallow everything right into the engine. Thats why there has been so many problems thou-out the years. I know that if the filter surface area was say 3-times bigger the rzr could not suck as hard to pull the dirt into the engine. It would be to big to suck....

I have a D&L and very pleased with it, and you have the option to snorkel it. Looked at the inside after a dusty, muddy water weekend ride at brimestone and their was no dirt in the throttle body tube, all the dirt was around the valve at the bottom of the canister and the filter was like it was still new.

I'm not crazy about what D&L charges for their kit but it is a good system if waterproof is important to you & you don't want to DIY.

I've taken my UMP through water and some does seep in around the lid but I didn't park it in water and it all just ran back out without getting the filter wet.
Rather than a bunch of pipes & holes in the bed I think your time would be better spent making a gasket for the lid instead of putting the can on top of the bed. IMO.
