Rhino snorkel question

If I did anything it would only be the cvt, if the water gets up to the seat,I'm backing up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We creek-ride almost everyday around here, no mud just water.

THANKS Z28 - thats the kind of picture post I need...

snorkeling for dummies picture book

thanks again - i will let you know how mine turns out - may not be as pretty as that one though - but functionality is all Im after.

Ok just got back form riding, the snorkels work great, no problems at all. I ran everything in 2" pvc so it would get enough air. Did not have to rejet or adjust the carb at all. It did pop a little in mid range but cleared up and ran fine (it may have been bad gas). I had water up over my waist and never slowed down . I had the wife with me and she was screaming at me the whole time the seat belt was holding her down in the water and it was cold. I followed every atv through every hole no matter how deep and the looks on everyones face told the story. They were impressed.

Thats my boy G-dubs rhino. Those are great pics he took.

i wanna snorkel my belt but not the air box and i have no idea wat so ever or where to start any help?

Im not sure I underatdn the reasoning for wanting to snorkel the belt and not the box...

but - the link Z posted does both and it helped me a ton.

I will try to post a pic of my snorkel mock up and see if I can find the finished pics too.

only reason i wanna snorkel is so when in some water my belt dont start slippin

gotcha - its easy to do with some 2" pvc, and bring it up through the dog house.

look at the pics Z posted and again I will see if I can find mine. good luck.

ps. may want to consider also snorkleing the cvt exhaust too.

ya see i dont think i know anyone with snorkels and everyone does it different thats why i havent done it im figurin its the cvt intake anda exhaust but havent really looked either fuess i should

p.s. Nick did u cut your plasctic cover to run up the snorkels? if so any pics of that?

snorkeling mine was exactly like plumbing - and yep, everyone does it differently unless you buy a kit...

when I get home I will see if I have some pics from the job I did...especially now that I can post them

220 ya right ill just wait till i feel confident to make them myself

thats what I did too - but keep in mind - that $220 makes it easy - all the measuring twice and cutting 3 times crap is done, and its a complete snorkel. If you just want to snorkel - DIY, easy.

(of course I can say that now that mine is doen and it only took 3 nights - but they were drunk nights )

well im not doin the air box so ya...might even do somethin different never know im sneaky and invontive like that

p.s. i know i cant spell big fancy words good

"invontive" / innovative = same thing

I have to 'cypher quite often on this board and and few others - y'all let me know if anyone needs a translation

again - can you tell I just figured out how to post pics...

here are a few snorkel pics - hope it helps someone.

snorkel mock up


snorkel mock up 2


stacks (lil lean, now fixed with hd zips - I also just recently changed the tips a lil)


rear view of stacks - gotta remember if you want your bed to tilt


I cut the back of the dog house... I also put rubber 2" connectors near the dog house to allow for SOME flex and easy replacement if stacks get dirty, scratched or I want another look.

well i finally took off the dog house(i reckon thats what its called) and it looks way easy rcmass that does help alot as well

damn good start shawn

it is easy - plumbing and I put a lil heat tape around the pipes near the engine - dont get no simpler!

ya thats what i figured or else it would just melt away(possibly) i finally tokk the rhino out and gave it a real bath from okeechobee mud fest almost a month later :D

when I did my snorkel - I gave her a good bath too while the engine was open - I did this in March....was riding at Coal Creek last OCtober and still had some Coal Creek mud in there....good lawd that mud hides in these machine

ooo ya it does then it gets baked on gets real stubborn then

i ve been thinking about doing mine.including the airbox,for the only reason of the noise factor .they say its alot quieter.u can accually have a conversation running a decent speed.

hey rcmass.it looks like u might could T those belt housing pipes togeather there in the very back!! did u try??? or wonder if it would hurt anything?

Hey Bling Bling now you know them Diamond Plated Snorkels will be Sharp and $$$$ but you would probably be the only one with them Heck lets get them started i'll help

You'd be putting hot air back in the tranny. It would get very hot and eventually cause a problem....probably a belt melt down.
