Snow ingestion

[hardcor_32]

Since I bought my Viper later in the year and wasn't able to ride in deep snow, has anyone noticed loss of power in the deep stuff with the forward exhaust? What have ppl been doing to combat the issue?

Some of us turbo guys did have a problem because there is no airbox just the filter with a sock behind the intercooler and radiator. The snow dust melts as it passes through and is injested as moisture. They made a kit that moved the intake filter over to the left side panel by the clutches.

I have not heard of any N/A guys having issues.
