I am not sure what the intake looks like on those, but if there is a place you can glue to, you can glue some panty hose (or the girl friend says stockings) to the inside. It still alows air in but blocks the snow. hope that helps.

the intake is behind the gauge pod and is covered by a plate

Does it have a square filter on top of the airbox that seals the gap between the hood and air box? Is that filter still in good shape? Is the foam, under that intake plate on the hood, still in good shape? Make sure both are actually still there and doing their job. If they are and you are still getting snow in there then try to panty hose thing, or SLP makes a prefilter you can put over that airbox filter to keep snow/water out.

I think it was in 97 that Polaris updated the intake to a square foam filter that sat higher with a more porus foam. This works much better than the older syle. Just take off the plate and foam underneath of it and rivet on the newer style with the foam inside.

I am afraid I don't have any pics, but check out the Polaris parts site:

You can also google those part #'s and usually come up with a pic on ebay or....

do u think i could get away with puting spacers under that plate to lift it up (alowing more air in) and the puting breathable faom on the outside of the plate?

You could try that. But for $18 shipped, that one on ebay would be a good replacement.
