Hey guys, what do you think of the Fizzle 4" air intake kit? I'm trying to compare the Riva, R&D and the Fizzle one... The price of the Fizzle is low compare to the two others...

Thanks for your input...

You can't go wrong with the Fizzle kit. I do not run it myself but I haven't heard of anyone have anything negative to say about it. However why not just build one yourself for less? Or even a rear air intake? If you do a search you'll find lots of info on how to do so.

Its all the same for the CAI
I made my own for 40 bucks but I don't have RXT.

Fizzle has good product biased on reviews on other forums

Now I'm trying to find where to hook this in front of a 2012 rxt260... Instructions are made for other models with battery in front... Anyway, I'll find out

Well if you're building your own its cheaper since you need less materials and also it is a much shorter hose/tube so it should flow better, in theory anyway. In reality I don't think there's a performance difference unless you ride with the rear seat off which I wouldn't advise.

Thanks! I'll made a list for the parts... I'll buy some kanaflex hose and the SC adapter... Any suggestions for a air filter?

I don't run one. I have a mesh screen over the top of the tube held in place with a hose clamp. You really don't need a filter if you're drawing air from inside the hull. It's not like you're operating in dusty conditions and as long as you keep it sunny side up no water either. The screen just keeps large things out like if by some miracle a screw comes loose or whatever and makes its way to the intake.

Alright, I appreciate your help :-)

yeah i just have a velocity stack at the end of my kanaflex.. i ran with a filter maybe two trips and the difference is night and day..

lucky for me i have a buddy who owns a major kanaflex dealer a couple towns over.. 10 bucks later i had 8 feet of hose.

That's a great deal no matter which way you slice it.
 
4" Air intake installed... Running at 7880rpm / 72mph... Taught rpm will would be higher than this...

Was 83 outside / water @ 75 degree and humidity @64%... Someone have a clue?

Is this OK?

Great :) Thanks! I have installed a 4" Fizzle Kit with a R&D SC Adapter... I had some difficulties getting the kanaflex in front on top of the stock air box (not enough space between the hull and the air box ... Anyway, with some patience and a lot of force ... It's strap on top of the air box maybe 3" more in front ...

Very happy with the installation :)

But, is it dangerous for water ingestion? A velocity stack?

Also, since the installation idle RPM is changing from 1600 to 1700 ... Is this normal? Is not stable ... before it was 1700 ... Now it's moving from 1600 to 1700 to 1600 ...

Even the filter is dangerous for water injestion.. But yes, you have to be a little more "aware".

yes I'm running a velocity stack on mine.. Throttle response is 10x better.. You can really hear and feel the engine breathe with out a filter

I would look into replacing the plugs.. Normal idle is around 1800
