It's too easy to actually loose horsepower messing around with that air box from what I've seen. If you do decide to go ahead, YOU have decided you know more about it than Polaris does and are now an engineer. Even if somebody replies to your note in a manner that's believable, and with positive results, you'll need to match that persons complete setup/calibration to realize the same end result. I don't think it's worth the gamble....

if your sled is stock you can add a short horn in the center. i have done this to my '01xc500. my '01xc8 is gutted then made smaller by blocking off the third carb area. IMO mike

if your sled has reeds its still stock. wouldnt cut off an inch. the length has something to do with the stroke of your engine.
