Default Some mods for my 650 xt

I want to get a snorkel, relocate the radiator and some mud tires. Maybe even an exhaust.

1. Should I buy can am factory snorkel because it fits best. I know it's more money but I want to get it right the first time

2. Any suggestions on what to get to relocate the radiator?

3. Mud tires--- I have been doing a lot of reading and everyone claims to be number one ( mambas, backs, outlaws etc). What do you guys like? Should I buy new wheels or use what I have? How much bigger can I go before I need to lift 2 inches?

Any help would be great appreciated!

This is all based on my experience with my 800 Outlander MAX XT. I do mostly trail riding with large mud holes here and there. I like to retain the trail handling as much as I can.

The Performance ATV Parts kits fits very well and the plastic piece where they exit comes pre-cut. Reasonable price too.

I personally don't like having a relocated radiator because I fear it will block my vision in front too much. I'm not a mud bogger either so no real reason. Are you going to be doing strictly mud ridding?

I just ordered 27" Mega Mayhems for mine and have heard they handle great still on the trail. No lift required and will still eat mud when needed.

No I probably will be doing more trails then actually Mud riding. Thats a good point on the radiator too!

What size wheels do you have for the 27 in megas?
