Yes...for us here..because of the heat and dust, IMO is a must to get that engine intake out of there and put a second filter on it. The CVT..well, I found my clutches were getting packed with our dust and wearing the parts out just way too fast so..I also tried several things to slow that dust ingestion. Thing is, that CVT moves way more air through it then the engine does and whatever filter you put on it gets restrictive very fast..and that means slower and less air to cool it...shoot I put a temp gauge on mine and before the snorkel when I had it in the bed, it was plugging up in less then 30 miles and the average temps went from 140-160 to 210. Now..with the stacks and especially when I put my prefilter over the intake, I'm good for a week of camp-n-rides with our group. And my CVT stays clean and working good. I have all kinds of pics and vids in the how-to section on this. It's an evolution..thing for me. Started with porting a hole to the outside for the engine air and ended up with these monstrosities. Full 3" on both. The right one is engine air...had a twinair coned foam in the can and an oversixed 5x8" unifilter in the box. The left is CVT..has the dry type pleated cone in the can with foam prefilter so I can just pop it apart, blow it out and get back to riding when necessary. Also have a booster fan on it that helps if things start getting warmer then I want.

I searched the forum and I swear I saved your post of you doing the snorkel/ enclosed  air filter setup you did bit I cannot find it now for the life of me for some reason. What were the New air filter housings called again that you used? And what size fan did you use for the CVT?

It's all in the How-Tos. Its a 3"-400CFM fan...but I gota tell you after out last camp-out, it was so dusty that filter blocked-up in two days..and I was even running my little red prefilters over the ends. Glad I had the fan to keep it under 200 degrees until we got back to camp..sware I poured 1/2 a pound of fine dust out of it before washing it. Starting to wonder if keeping all that BS out of the CVT is worth it..I mean it Know it good for it but..what a PITA.
