Default Sportsman 800 Air Box/Snorkel Porting Mod

So I took my dremel and kind of ported the opening into the airbox from the intake snorkel you can see the difference, the opening is alot bigger now.

Its a little messy I'm going to clean it up a bit. As for it doing any thing noticeable, I don't know, but its kind of like porting a head right?

Should result in less turbulence going into the box. Not sure if there would be a benefit though.

How did you get the pictures embedded into the thread?

Hit "reply" instead of using the "quick reply" box and click on the little picture at the top of the menu and put in the link from photo bucket in the box that pops up.

I'm open to suggestions but I'd like to wait and hear about your opinion.

well I seen the HSP High flow air intake mod and it cost $49.95, I just figured it would get air into the box faster and keep the snorkel as for HP no, stickers are for HP [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

See if any of this information helps. I don't buy all of it but others might.
