An apparatus designed to extend the air intake and exhaust points of a Polaris RZR 800S. This system allows the vehicle to operate in environments with deeper water or higher levels of dust and debris, protecting the engine from potential damage caused by ingestion of these substances. These systems typically consist of a series of pipes and connections that relocate the air intakes and exhaust outlets to a higher position on the vehicle.
Implementing such a system offers several advantages. It significantly reduces the risk of hydrostatic lock, a condition where water enters the engine cylinders, preventing piston movement and potentially causing severe engine damage. Furthermore, relocating the air intakes minimizes the amount of dust and debris entering the engine, improving air filter longevity and overall engine performance. Historically, off-road enthusiasts have adapted various methods to protect their vehicles from environmental hazards, and these kits represent a purpose-built, engineered solution.
