ok so i am sick of my buggy being down because of the carbs needing cleaned of rebuilt. so i am trying to set up a good intake. This is what i have so far. I need to know what you all are using that is cheap to make the duct work for the intakes. My thought is to put it up on top of my gas tank that should be the best spot to keep things out of the intake.


Sorry i do not know how to make the pics fix right.

I think my whole buggy is a little heavy..lol but it does good on the trails. I'm more into reliability and self extraction than performance.

Its not really loud cause its further away from the carb. But you can hear it a bit,kinda sounds like a mini turbo8-)

I am with Big D... The tractor filter is awesome. A spin off pre-filter also makes a huge difference. My filters in my ford tractor breather are still white and look brand new after 2 years of street and trail riding. You can also run 2 of the smaller versions of that breather (one for each carb) that come on industrial mowers. They are easier to find and have almost identical hose diameter of your carb boxes and are plastic so they are light weight.

I ran my buggy all last year and i mean rode hard, dust, mud,water never cleaned one jet all year ....Took the motor off to rebuild not one piece of dirt or dust on the inside of the breather or carbs they looked new ...My set up is really not heavy at all if i was guessing i would say 2lbs if that worth it in gold ...
