Best Air Intake for M8

[catmando]

Ive looked around and googled and read and am still undecided on the best Air intake for my M8,I talked to rusty and he told me what he thought was the best one but cant remember what it is,D&D firebreather seems like a 50/50,some like ,some dont.I would like to hear what you guys think.What else is available.:d:d

Right now i have the slp, for sure more air. The fire breather looks like you will get alot more air in. I am going to wait for the snow show and see who says what.

Thats why Im asking,plan to buy one there,also will likely buy the 2 cool air vents as they look good and have decent reviews.
Thx catmando

I run the speedwerx big air horn and also the slp high flow intake so as i was able to eliminate the intake hose. I'm not a fan of the filter set-ups like the d&d unless you can seal it off from the engine compartment. The reason this is is because if it is open to the engine compartment it can then breathe in hot under hood air and you make less power with hot versus cold air.

I have the clutch and can side vents and plan to make a few more hole this year. Thinking that if i go with the D&D i will get the cat hood vent and add some more holes. Get rid of the hood insulation. And if that doesnt work then mesh hood it will be. The way i see it , even if i cant ride i might as well look good sitting around BS'n

You should take a look at the vent on Menz Toys website.they are a supporting vendor of the site,Ron just pointed that out to me,Think I might order a set of the trucker chick side vents,add more later if nessary.

i use the 2 cool side vents and there awsome,beat the living crap out of them and still no rips but i would suggest like i did and have the prefilter
material put on both sides,just keeps the snow out of the can side so no snow to cause steam

go with the slp intake.... no air horn retain the stock intake on the hood. it is much easier to get good air from above. glen is right, those clutches and the engine get really hot and if the air is hot then the power is down. in my opinion.

The stock intake is one of the best if you ride deep snow like Revy...it just needs some touching up, the slp intake helps get more air flowing, more venting in the dash, panels, bulkhead...and if you ride in deep make sure you are not breathing in exhaust..seal that off..

Those are the ones i have, but i bought them from T&T/ Straight white. In the end i want a black and white sled. The hood vent is what i have my eye on. But i want to see it up close before i buy one. It has to sit tight on the hood so that snow wont slip under and into the engine, but get a little more cooling

This what it looks like now,, the stickers will go bye bye as soon as camping season is over and i get shop time:d

I take lots of decals off and with a heat gun its so easy and quick,mine will all be off eventually as well.Soon as I bring home any sled the first to go are all the warning stickers.Ive taken those and the big ones on the tub as well as the 153 decals off the tunnel.
Once I find a wrap I like the rest are gone!
