air box relocation?
Reply Quote

Anybody tried something like it? I've been thinking about  fabricating one, moving the airbox under the hood to reduce intake noise. Anybody tried it or have suggestions or remarks? Thanks from a new owner. Ed

I found an article on the guy who did a tube snorkel. Has anybody tried this and has it reduced intake noise? Thats the main reason I'm thinking about doing it. Thanks

The 08' have the air cleaner up front. I have not looked close, but seems to have a pipe running from engine compartment, through the center hump in the floor and up to air cleaner box - centered under front hood. I would like to re-locate because of intake noise also. Maybe William can come up with his next product... retrofit 07' and earlier with a kit to relocate air cleaner :)

wonder if the 08 airbox kit will retrofit to the '07's?

Some good points for sure! I have never seen the fit of the '08 intake but I have seen a couple of comments indicating that there is no reasonable way to fit the '08 system to '07 and earlier models. So, it's simply innovation time for those that want to give it a try. Probably won't be me as I don't see an '08 for me anytime in the future! ww

I've read the articles on RCtrucks about quieting down the rhinos. The tube attached to the airbox and routed to the hood looks interesting. That shoud take the intake noise away from the cab and quiet the rhinoi down a bit. A yamaha mechanic in Alabama told me most of the ambient noise (besides normal engine noise) is actuall intake noise and not exhaust noise. Has anybody else done the snorkel to the hood and what were your results? Thanks
