Ripping through unpredictable terrain can be fun, but it can also take its toll on your ATV. The snorkel system was not meant to turn your vehicle into a submarine. Its main job is to give your ATV an outlet to breathe when the intake is submerged during your water-filled excursions.
Being underwater means that the air intake will be unable to deliver clean air to the engine. This can be problematic for several reasons. Repeated exposure to moisture can lead to rust and once rust grabs hold of your engine, it can spread to other components and cause major damage to your ATV. Exhaust portals and electric connections may need snorkeling as well. A snorkeled ATV has exhaust pipes sticking out in front of the driver.
These pipes or snorkels have open ends that remain above water. There are many different components that can be snorkeled such as the differential vents and the clutch belt housing intake and exhaust. Snorkeling electric connections and carb vent tubes is also recommended.
Snorkeling the air intake involves running the pipe out of the air box right below the plastic and into the highest position possible on your ATV. This is mainly right in front of the handlebars. Snorkeling can be a lifesaver during off-road adventures that involve extreme mud riding.
You can use this system to keep the transmission belt from slipping and putting an end to your thrill ride. Extended carburetor vent line, required on carbureted versions only Crankcase vent reroute system to help prevent water intrusion into engine oil milking.
With our kit you will NOT be mounting your riser systems with zip ties. The Snorkit comes with a detailed instructional video which walks through each aspect of the installation process.
It should be noted that this kit requires trimming of the factory plastic in order to achieve installation. As with all Snorkits this purchase will come with the full technical support of the snorkel experts at Triangle ATV!
The price Difference is in the Quality. Thoroughly pressure wash the engine, clutch covers and intake area. Dry completely with compressed air and then remove the transmission exhaust snorkel system completely. Remove the belt intake snorkel leaving the rubber boot connected to the transmission intake port. Remove the front cover from the airbox to provide access to the intake tube. The Brute Force snorkels get centered in the front plastic—on other applications you need to refer to the instruction sheet to figure out what mounting location will be easiest to route the snorkels through.
Using a hole saw, drill out a 2. Insert the 2-inch and 1. Starting with the transmission belt exhaust vent, you will have to use a series of rubber couplings, degree fittings, degree fittings, and a 1. Repeat the steps for the clutch exhaust, as well. If you are using a pre-packaged kit from Bayou snorkels, it will include very detailed instructions as to which fittings and the order they need to be installed.
If building from scratch, expect to make multiple trips to the hardware store. For the intake you will need to construct a snorkel from the airbox intake tube to the 2-inch coupling that you installed into the front plastic. Just be sure to get the right one for your machine.
They kits will vary a bit and the parts are custom made for each different engine. The cheapest thing to use is just some good old pvc pipe. You can find pvc pipe at any home repair store like Home Depot or Lowes.
You can find little tube connectors at most auto parts stores like Napa or Autozone. The just get some tubing and extend the carb tube up to a safe area on the machine. Do the same thing for the front and rear differential breather. These lines are usually already ran pretty high up onto the quad up near the handle bars.
