I finally got my snorkel done. Thanks for all the advice and help 🙂

Great question! I'd like to know as well.

Not many pictures of it. Would have to be tough tubing.

Seems like a proper place for it but many unknowns. I'll keep digging for more info.

I saw on a CFMOTO group on FB a guy had a z and the dealer relocated the intake to under the front hood. Any thoughts?

Odey1979 the hole is 2 inch I believe. Goes straight into the plastic intake tube. There is definitely room for improvement. And still think I'm going to snorkel it.
I just mine back from the dealer also. Had them do a full service and go over it from head to toe. Clean bill of health. They offered me to snorkel it for $360!!! I'll do it myself lol

Well I tore into that prefilter. Definitely a dealer add on. It's 2 pieces with a filter inside it. The tube on the back side goes through the bed and connects to the intake tube between the seats. Not pleased with that connection as it wiggles too much and dust can seep through. I am still thinking about doing a snorkel instead of that setup since the hole is already through the bed.

I will definitely dig into it. I want to do some type of snorkel and or a spoiler on the roof to blow the dust out of the bed. I've only had it a week and basically no time to even crawl over it but lots of time to think about it and read everyone's posts. Going to try to get it in with my dealer next week to do a complete service. We usually ride alone and don't eat much dust but I want to be proactive on the air filter.

Got a couple pics. Appears that the stock grill between the seats is blocked off. I'll try to dig into it tomorrow

I'll try and get some better pics of it this afternoon or tomorrow.

Ok guys, this is what is on the back of the cab/inside the bed. I assume it's some type of prefilter? What's inside of it. I haven't had time to even go out and open it up or even look at it. Could it be modified? The pic is off of ebay for reference.

I'll keep following this. Not ready to do anything yet especially since I just got it yesterday 😉 Thanks for all the ideas and help!

Odey1979 , where did you find that air filter? I just got the 18 z800 trail and was thinking about doing this but from the top if there's room... Still learning

New owner of a 18 zforce 800 trail. Been following CFMOTO for a couple years now. Finally able to buy one and we pick it up in a few days. It only has 311 miles on it. We mostly ride logging roads and a few trails. I'll be looking for a few accessories and improvements
