Installed Alba Inbox Pod Filter kit on XP4

This mod was done because I kept finding dirt past my air filter that was getting sucked in around the airbox lid. I tried grease, a Uni filter etc... and it's just a poor design. The plastic lid is just not rigid enough and flexes and leaves gaps where it doesn't squeeze the rubber lip around the filter.

I went with the dual stage Uni filters with an Outerwear. It comes with a

crankcase breather filter in case you want to run with the lid off. I'm going to

keep my lid on but I installed the filter anyway. It was pretty easy to install

the hardest part was getting the stock plastic velocity stacks out of the

airbox, SERIOUSLY! What a PITA! The new billet ones went in great and the

filters clamp on very securely do to the ribbed clamping surface. (Stock plastic velocity stacks vs. new billet ones) I also got Albas' airbox lid seal (a little different than the other guys)

so the lid will still "hopefully" seal with no stock filter in place which wouldn't

matter since no dirt will get by the clamped on filters. A quick test drive

resulted in nothing actually. Obviously no change in power but I thought the

intake noise would be a little louder but it's not.

looks good,those uni two stage filters are foam correct.lot of members don't realize how much dust these utvs suck in,keeping the dirt out is the motors life.I used to run a k/n filter went back to stock foam,couldn't tell no difference in performance.

Yes they are a dual stage foam. And same here no change in performance just trying to keep the dirt out.

I think the performance gains are too modest to be noticed, but I run a UMP filter box and I definately noticed a difference in throttle response. The RZR is a little louder, but I don't know anyone who buys one of these so that they can have long, deep conversations with their passengers.

Nice setup, my I ask where and how much did you bought those filters? A pal of mine is having some hard time on finding one, hope you can help us out.

They are from Alba http://teamalbaracing.com/i-13567346-in … p-900.html

You can get K&N or Uni filters, I went with the Foam Uni and outerwear because I am looking for filtering and the K&N just doesn't cut it in this Arizona dust in my opinion.

I got the optional Super Seal that goes around where the stock air filter would be so the lid will still seal but I'm not so sure I would recommend it. It is now laying in the dirt next to my garage since after the first ride it was mishaped and sucked into the airbox from the vacuum. It might be because I installed it with grease when it probably would have worked dry but my reason for the whole intake mod was due to the factory setup sucking in dirt so I was trying to seal it the best I could.

How long did this air filter mod take you?www.sbsparts.com

Around 45 minutes but I've had my intake off before so it wasn't my 1st time.
