It is usually much cheaper to d it yourself, and the can ams are the easiest in my opinion to snorkle the big bores...


I've got some pics on here somewhere of mine.... in the can am section...

Upon checking the thread, I have since changed the Braided PVC hose, that I used on the CVT exhaust, to spa hose.. That Braided hose is heavy and hard on the rubber boots..... And it is notflexible at all.. Might as well go PVC if you are thinking on that braided pvc hose crap....

Make sure to wrap any and all pvc/hose/fittings with heat tape that is near the motor or the exhaust.. And DEFINANTLY put that heat tape on the fitting coming out of the cvt exhaust.. I didnt at first, and got a belt full of water and slipped it pretty good.....

It is not bad to do at all.. Just have to go out and look and see where you want to run them, and the best way for it...
I did NOT put the cvt Exhaust in the POD.. I put it where it blows sorta back towards me and down, and it comes out right in front of the shifter... under the plastics of course.. That heat coming out of there is NOT good on the engine as it will just suck it in throught the air intake.. And the same for the CVT intake, it would just be recirculating and the belt would never have a chance to get fresh air.... Heat is the number one cause of belt failures and breakages...

I am actually fixing to change mine, to where they will run the same way, but instead of satying in the pod, I am going to come OUT of the pod, for center snorks... Give it a little bit more heigth, and I will be able to actually SEE how close to the water they are....

Here is a link to a good thread of pics and some install instructions...
You may have to be a member to see the pics, but if you own a can am, and you do,, you should probably be a member there.. It is the best can am site full of info and notmuch bull crap goes on over there....

Here is the excellent guide to how to snorkle it stealth style.. It is what I based mine off of and has the pics needed to see what is going on and exactly what to do step by step..

Why spend near 200 or better on the same things you can go to your local hardware store and spend about 40-50...

Good luck and when you start, just take your time and do it how you want to... And post pics!!!
