A lot of people snorkel to the pod. Seems to work fine for them but I do worry about the heat build up as well as the slight discharge of belt goo under the pod. I went ahead and cut the plastics and vented mine out to the atmosphere. Plus my son likes to dunk my renegade a little deeper than I do and I needed the added protection. Pic in avatar.
Personally I didn't vent the cvt exhaust at all.. I figure as long as the rpm's are up while running through the deep stuff it'll keep water out of the cvt. But then I don't run in the deep stuff...
I had my exhaust under the pod. I cut it back to the highest point under the seat. Not sure if I was losing any power but probably wasn't doing the engine any favors.

I didn't do the cvtexhaust either and I had it in deep stuff on my last adventure. Up to top of the backfenders in muddy water.I was stuck for over a hour like this and did shut the bike off for a while. Didn't have any belt slippage but the winch failed and so did my rubber boots!:tg:
Brian, that setup looks familiar.. Glad it worked out for ya! Thanks to hayseed as well.. I prefer having the scoop hidden like we did, but either way I think its a happy medium between stock setup and full blown snorkel setup.
Hayseed & fmj40:urok: it is a great idea. Should come from the factory that way. The stock location is dumb. BRP Engineers need to ride what they design.
well I got the intakes snorkeled not sure what I'm gonna do on cvt exhaust snorkel, how did it work out to the highest point of the seat? I'd guess just turn it down to the vavle cover or up to the seat I dont wanna burn anything all ideas appreciated.
Fellas, there is another solution for the cvt exhaust that I just thought of. there are high flow check valves that are used for cold air intakes on cars that are designed to stop the flow of water if the car fender gets wet. Wonder if that couldn't be installed in reverse for the cvt outlet.
I have mine up under the pod. the exhaust is slightly more towards the front to keep the hot air out. 1.5 pool hose with some heat tape and some street 90s to direct the airflow. works great can really soak it now:tg:
See you have Crutchfields and stabilizer.... My 08 800 dives and seems to have a downward front rake.... also more bump steer than my 800 sportsman.... Will the changes you made address these issues ? Worth the $
