removing snorkel

[skyline_898]

this is probably a dumb question but if i removed my snorkel , will i have to re-jet it. i know that u have to when u increase the air flow into ur engine but i dont know if u have to w/ the snorkel

Trying to remember back a few years ago when I bought my black 03 new.. seems like I did have to rejet with just the snorkel off- ran better but flat thru the mid range. But it picks up a couple/few HP easy- a noticeable seat of the pants difference. The next thing I did was to cut out the entire center of the airbox lid- keeping the perimiter to hold in the crappy stock filter. That needed another rejet and got me several more ponies.

People out there put snorkels on Sport ATVs?

I removed mine and put air box vents in the lid and did not have to rejet. It all depends on your mods. If you are undure i would at least check your jetting and make changes if nessacary.

the mods that i have are the fmf pipes. it as been jetted after those but thats all i have on it so far.

you will get a little better air flow, so i'd double check your jetting w/a plug chop. also, without the snorkel, it's a lot more likely to have crap get into your air box. i had 10x the dirt, bugs, and shit from weeds etc. and that's no good with a stock pos filter. i put a piece of fine window screen over the end of the lid to keep it all out and it worked great. also had 12 uni filters in the lid. but that gave me a taste of the power gains from increased air flow. so i ditched the lid, (using a pro design adaptor/filters), rejetted, and never looked back.
