So I actually started to cut and attempt snorkeling my wife's 500.  The "how to snorkel a sportsman" link everyone uses doesn't exist anymore. 

I got the airbox figured out


but I can't figure out how to do the cvt intake as the starter is kinda in the way.

Anybody got any pics of this part?

BTW I am gonna go ahead and relocate the radiator too.

All right, so I scrapped my original airbox plan and did something that fit a little better.
a 90deg 1.5" barbed fitting.

cut off the threads

sand off the barbs

and glue into the plexiglass(everything is unglued right now for fitment)


I used a fernco 1.5"-1.5" elbow on the cvt intake



Here is the the CVT intake, exhaust and left side airbox fitting hoses


and here is the only way I could figure out how to route the right side of the airbox hose.


That's all I got done today.  I plan on wrapping all the hoses in foil tape to protect it from heat.

If or when I decided to cut my Polaris 800 up, my first stop would be Triangle Boys. Look them up on Youtube.  That is how I want to roll.

Nice info though. Doing it on your own is brave.

My buddy snorkeled his 500 a while back. He idles thru some deep stuff.  If you need any help figuring anything out I can give you his number or you can come check his out.  Looks like you about have it knocked out.  When I snorkeled my crew it took a while to get all the kinks worked out but it was pretty easy compared to a quad.  The 800 I just got has a all jacked up snorkel(they installed) on it.  It is nice but for $500 and you install I guess it better be.
