you could get some mud and water in there if you have a

HSP High Flow Intake

Not suggested for wet or muddy riding, unless you have an outerwear pre-filter.


FROM OUTERWEARS

"The Outerwears Pre-filter is an excellent solution to prevent water from entering into the engine due to puddles or heavy rainstorms. An Outerwears Pre-Filter is designed to be water repellent and will reduce the risk of water entering through an air intake system. Although our Pre-Filters are proven to be extremely effective in repelling water, please keep in mind they are not water proof. If submerged, your intake can hold or pass water."

I get a lot of snow sucked into the airbox via the snorkle and into the CVT when I travel fast on tracks. I bought a prefilter and bulk material from Outerwears. Made my own pre filter for the CVT and put the other over my K & N. No more belt slip on CVT and the water tends to gather in the sump in the air box.

so nobody has any idea if the stock pre-filter can do what a outerwears can? I don't want to buy a outerwears and find out the stock one is made by outerwears and is the same thing.

I bought a pre filter from polaris to see what they are like. Not the quality of Outerwears and it seems to be "one size fits all". Outwears is a tight fit.

If it matters and not scientific, blowing through the two filters, seems to be less restriction with outerwears.
