You can do it, just seal everything up with silicon or something, make a snorkel for the airbox, make a snorkel for the carb, and one for the exhaust and that should work. Id use pvc pipe or something like that..

You will need to reroute all vent lines to a higher place. The vent lines usually include: front diff, rear diff, brakes, carb, radiator overflow (if liquid cooled), and some others. For the airbox you can use PVC(white) or ABS(black) piping and make a route to a higher place. I have instructions for a Rubicon on my site along with pictures and prices. Be sure to get the right glue. ABS glue will not hold PVC piping together and vice versa. As far as the exhaust, that is a personal decision and everyone has a different opinion on whether to not to do it. The only reason I have seen for doing this is the exhaust can and will get clogged with mud if you dont have one.

If you where to snorkel it you would have to have an intake vent and an exhaust vent just for the belt and a seperate snorkel for the air intake.Be sure to seal everything up real good and you have to have two snorkels one for the intake on the belt and a seperate one for the exhaust on the belt.That is as i'm guessing you have an automatic if not then nevermind.

I think it will take a genius to snorkel a Polaris.
