Now, it works good on my Grizzly to redirect the belt exhaust as a hand warmer!

Not sure if I'm going to leave my last couple fittings loose so I can redirect the exhaust on the Rhino for heat. I started it last weeked and pretty much wrapped it up last night except for the gluing of the fittings.

Alright, I finally finished my snorkels tonight. We did my buddy's Rhino the weekend before last and got started on mine but didn't finish. The good thing for me is I had a guinea pig. Here are a few pics:

The airbox is the middle snorkel. The one on the drivers side with the filter is the CVT intake. Many believe this is important in filtering the air going into your transmission. Hunterworks sells one that will fit the stock location. When I told Todd at HW he said he had one he was testing for something else that he thought would fit my snorkel. He was right, it fit perfectly. Still not sure how I'll position it, I haven't glued that joint yet. Need to get my seats in and see how everything works together.

well only point id say to that is make sure its lower so in case of water splashing or rain in wont go down the snorkel either straight down or on a downward angle

Yep, this isn't my first snorkeling job. I have a Grizzly and a Foreman that are both snorkeled. If you turn the inlets and outlets down, you should have to worry about rain. They are all facing rearward too so there shouldn't be much danger there either. You have a little margin for error to in that if you do get a little water in, it's not going to immediately affect the CVT unless you get a lot in. Pull the plug and it will drain out. Same goes for the airbox. You've got a little room in the bottom of the airbox that it won't suck into the carb unless you drown it good....same again, pull the clear drain on the bottom of the airbox and it will drain.

Obviously the apparatus is to prevent any water from entering. Barring going into a hole that you don't know what is there, it should keep you safe.....but, I came close on my Grizz the other weekend and got water into my tranny while washing it off in a lake by riding through it.....big drop off.

One other hand trick is to make yourself some plugs for when you wash it. That makes things a little easier as well.

ya with the plugs then you can just go to town w/o having to watch where your spraying

nice work tiger - looks like some fine CU engineering... (my wife is a CU grad, and I was there 2 years - but still DAWG at heart)

Wheelin - this should all be in the how to section - great thread for folks wanting to see some skorkelin pics.

Thanks Man!

If you're a Dawg fan, then you should be pumped up for this coming season. GA looks like they should be very, very good!

I'm somewhat excited with the players/recruits we have in the stable at Clemson.....just not confident with the guy leading them. At least the basketball team has been entertaining this year to take our mind off of football mediocrity.

hey tiger u got number of bends and how much pvc ill need?

We wrote it down after doing my buddies first. After I cut my pipe and layed mine out, I gave it to another buddy who is looking to buy a Rhino soon. I'll see if he can email the list to me. It may require some changes for your particular Rhino (mine varied from my buddies a little), but it will be very close. The great thing is we have pipe measurements too. It will probably be Monday before I can get it to you though. I'm getting ready to head out the door to WV shortly.

cool deal and what size pvc did you use for all of it? im gonna be gettin a filter also maybe before pvc but so if i snorkel first i wanst it to fit

I used 2" all the way...

I dotn have the list either - I bought a ton of different fitting from Lowes and returned what was unnessacary....here is a mock up pic

why are some black and some white? paint?

I used all black pipe for finish - but had some old white lying around that I cut into the mock pieces - tossed em - and cut the black finish pieces straight and clean...

plus teh black drainage pipe OD fit a lil better in the rubber hose in and out of the belt case. Coming out of the air box is a 90Degree rubber bow



NOW I HAVE A QUESTION (just remembered it)

I put a billet intake and UNI filter in my air box...the billet intake cuase the rubber connector to the carb to bend a lil...not bad, but I would like to remove the bend and get mroe of a straight shot - any suggestions???

SEE THREAD IN THIS FORUM PLEASE.

yes irejetted - but i also added a aftermarket intake and exhaust at the same time

Dont you all hate those rainy sats in the garage!!!!!Thanks z 28 for the imput on the air box.i was after getting the cab quieter and cant believe the diff it made.nice clean hole in my engine cover should mean not much heat coming up or noise.and was also able to keep my goodie bag on the back










did do my cvt box too.i just raised them right under the top of the bed.not sure how the exhaust line will work out .i was really just interested in getting rid of the cab noise.here is a link to the rest of the pics.they r about the last 3 pages on the album

Very nice work MCB! Do you think it is restricting your airflow any. Any diff. in performance? I would be interested to see if you experience any difference in the look of your Spark Plug.

dont know yet.have only taken it up the road and back.no power loss that i can tell .going to check the plug shortly.shouldnt restict any air flow.real simular to z28s but i have a couple more 90s.

Nice work Craig..Real clean..I like it

Nick, didn't you have some performance issues when you snorkeled your Rhino?
