2018 850 clutch cover

I asked the same thing over on Doo Talk. Never got a response. I am going to be running a blow hole by the end of the week so I wasn't sure if the bottom section is needed. With all the grenading belts last year I wonder if it would protect the sled at all.
I'd cut the bottom off and yank all the felt and foam. It makes removing and installing the cover not such a PITA. I shredded 2 belts with everything removed and cut off on my sled. No damage to anything but it definitely leaves a big hairy mess. After installing blow holes on both my 850's I never blew a belt.
It blows air out. It blows pretty hard. You need to roll the sled over with it off to get snow packed in there. It's happened to me but the snow melts so fast and has never gotten in the belt it's a non issue. When you feel how warm the air is coming out of that hole you realize how hot it gets in there.
I don't do a lot of climbing anymore. Mainly screwing around in the powder carving donuts and in the trees where you are into the throttle quite a bit and not moving very fast. Wish I had dropped the dough in the past. Considering a belt is just under $200.00 and the blow hole is $249.99, I think it will pay for itself quickly.

Remove all the foam from inside clutch area and door, remove clutch cover and take out felt and foam and you will notice a small foam piece on the bottom backside of the cover that faces the left foot well, 1 inch by 2-3 inches, cut around that foam piece and remove that bit it allows for better Evan of the hot air, keep the rest intact it helps evacuate the heat, run sled before spending ur money first,
Dave - do you have a picture of this mod?
