Ok I have a 00' Trail Blazer, and under the seat there is like a snorkel thing with the air filter on top, and under that there is another air filter, would it make my TB run better if i took the snorkel thing off? Please reply

Yes, you will get better engine breathing (and probably a little more power). But water will enter the airbox very easily. If you ride in a dry place (no water or mud), you can do it. I ride in sand/mud/water taking off the snorkle would make me gain lots of power but I don't do it since I don't want water to enter the engine.

If your air intake is like the one on my Scrambler you can actually make the tube bigger with a piece of PVC tubing. Works great and keeps the water out. I also drilled some holes between the enlaged snorkel and the airbox itself. D'ont forget to add a UNI filter or K&N.

Good luck!

jviper,

first thing you do is throw the stock air filter in the garbage, and install a Uni-Filter. The air intake is different on the TrailBlazer than the Scrambler. I've heard of some guys cutting the intake snorkel vertically in front of the filter to get more air. If you do a lot of wet riding, I might advise against this.

Does Uni make a filter for the '99 Sport? I've had trouble finding one. I'm starting to think you Americans are holding out on us.

remove the black snorkle thing so that all you have is a 2 and a half inch hole on top of your air box. and get rid of that stock air filter. as long as you dont take it swimming, a little water splash will fall to the drain.

Jaz1, call Dennis Kirk at 1-800-328-9280, and order part # 30-1546, they're $18.99 . I buy them 3 at a time, so I always have two spares for those long weekend rides.

Thanks. I'll be sure to take your advice. Maybe you Americans aren't so bad after all.
