Right before Camp RZR we outfitted Joey D's XP1000 with R2C Performance's new drop-in air filter set up. This thing is a snap to install and boasts a few benefits over the stock system.
They went with the largest filter they could cram into the factory airbox to maximize airflow. It attaches easily using one hose clamp and a screwdriver or nut driver, could hardly be any easier.
The element is made of a blended synthetic media that R2C claims provides 10-15 times more filtration than the standard cotton gauze type filter.
First step in the installation is to remove the access panel in the bed, like so:
Next, the stock component gets removed
You slip the hose clamp onto the new filter and slide the assembly over the stock intake tube. Tighten her down and your done!
Replace the airbox lid and access cover, and voila, you're ready to mob.
Joey ran the filter setup all weekend at camp rzr and it performed admirably. The RZR never starved for air, and repeated hucks like this didn't phase it any. Throttle response was snappy and powering up the gnarliest dunes was never a problem.
Perhaps the coolest part about the R2C filters is that they require very little maintenance. No oil is required for filtration and no solvents are required for cleaning, just blow air from the inside out at 50-60 psi. Thats it!
Thanks again to R2C for giving us the opportunity to try out this filter set-up! Make sure to check them out for anything you need.
