    Nac's Racing website does sell an aluminum "laser etched" snorkel plug for $9.95. I have one installed on my quad, pictured below. Some prefer to use a spray paint can lid.

    Man that EHS lid looks great. I bought an outerwears box cover but have not yet installed it because I cant quite figure out how it is suposed to seal completely maybe I can copy that aluminim plate design and just go that route. How do you like it? I am currently just running with the lid off but I dont like having to remove the airbox all of the time to clean it out. I would have ordered the NACS racing snorkle plug also but they were out of stock when I wanted one so I used a yellow spray paint cap that matched my quad.

    The snorkle becomes unecessary when the airbox lid is removed or when using a modified lid like what hornetgod13 posted.

    The EHS lid is awesome. It filters a lot of the larger stuff out before it even gets to the UNI filter. It's water resistant as well for added protection. Anyone with some metal working skills and access to assorted nuts and bolts could make one of these. You would need to buy/use an Outerwear lid to cover the opening. EHS Racing sells the entire lid for $80.00 and a kit for $40.00.
    That outwears cover that's held on with adhesive velcro is WORTHLESS! Don't waste your time with it. It fits poorly and the sticky side of the velcro lifts up the next time to go to take it off. Just cut it down and make a custom lid.
