I JUST BOUGHT AN 2003 ARCTIC CAT 400I AUTO AND I AM CURIOUS IF I PICKED THE RIGHT BIKE IF I DO ALOT OF MUD RIDING AND HOG HUNTING, I AM CURIOUS IF IT IS RELIABLE AND IF I AM ABLE TO BUILD A SNORKEL FOR TRANNY AND AIR INTAKE...THANX FOR ANY RESPONCES KENNY IN GA

 

you wont regret your purchase i have an 06 400 4x4 auto and it is unstopable and there are variouse snorkel kits out and many people build there own but i dont know much about them except if you need one your in some pretty deep stuff good luck

 

Welcome. You will find you Cat will get the job done. Now stop using all CAPS as it is the same as yelling on the internet.

 

Thanx Rango for the info, and thanx bear for a little internet do and dont im kinda new to this deal. I searched and cant find any snorkel how to's for my cat or kits to buy, anybody that has their cat modified for the mud wanna give me any info...thanx everybody....kenny in ga

 

look around in here oak there are a few people that have done the own but give your cat run with out it there not full proof there just as risky as running without one if you end up with a leak your quite a bit off the ground on that thing and they say you can go to the fenders??? just what i heard i havent and probably wont go to that point but thats pretty deep just my opinion for what its worth

 

I have found that if you keep the water below the bottom edge of your seat there is never a problem. If you get water higher than that is when trouble starts.

 

It is very easy to snorkel that sucker, go over to Arctic Chat and there is a bunch of people that have done it. I am pretty sure you are going to have to re-jet as well, if you go higher then 2 inches. Good luck, it is the PERFECT ATV for your use. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

you may also want to check your state / dnr enviromental laws as this year our state has adopted what other states have already done - big fines for even HAVING a snorkel on your machine on public property. I beleive its a $300 fee for the snorkel and they double any other fines if you have a snorkel and are riding in a prohibited (off trail ) area. Its shut down a lot of guys here.
