BDX or timbersled intake?

[CatMan88]

Im lookin to get a intake for my 09 m1000 and am wondering which is better the BDX or the timbersled intake i hear good about both but am having trouble making a decision. Thanks

i had a bdx intake. Hated it. GO timberlsed.

 

[CatMan88]

Was that on your m7 or your 1000 cause i heard they work differently on some sleds.

If you want timbersled junk, I'll shoot you a phone number of a guy who has one sitting on a shelf from switching to BD-X,

I have yet to see anything made by timberjunk that has met the quality that we expected. suspension, intake...bolts? how do you F up how bolts fit? they're impressive.

I'm sure he'd sell it way cheap.

airbox

Catman..I just put a K&N cone filter on top of my airbox and it rips...throttle response is so fast its sick..sled is so squirrely ..its sideways in a flash if the snows not deep enough.Cheap and easy.

I like the timbersled personally. It never gets clogged with snow like the bdx. 2 of my buddies were out with th me with bdx intakes and the snow clog was their only issue but otherwise good. Only issue with the timber is you can take in underhood heat which causes it to over fuel via efi. If you go with timbersled vent the pizzz outta it. I have the AC Cat vent on both hoods andboondocker gill side vents on both of my m's to vent the engine compartment.

timbersled...yea its junk but it works..

I like the timbersled no issue's yet but i am sure both intakes are way better than stock, some people had issue's before with them with snow getting in but they fixed the problem with a seal between the face plate and the intake boot so i've been told, mine has the seal. Just make sure you seal your nose cone and not much snow will get in and use good venting, here's some pics installed.

We have three guys in our group with BDX kits and they love them! Just make sure you seal everything up including the plastic cover or the silencer cover what ever they call it!

Did have some problems with snow before running tape all around the edges of the cover, but since they have been in over the hood pow and no issue's!

Air Intake

Hey all , sorry it took so long for the pics..first one is my ride and then the
intake pics...

Im looking for an intake too, and am leaning towards the bdx, but can you still run over trees and brush with it, or will that poke holes in the prefilter screens on the bellypan?

 

[Borninsnow]

Bought the bdx first of this season for my M*, and love it. No troubles with the screen at all. Made a good difference. Only trouble I have noticed is in the REAL deep snow 2-3'+ it suchs hard for air until you get going. Well worth it.

Both products lack sufficient air intake in deep POW with a stock hood.

Deep POW is waist deep and in your face!

Best to vent everything for a real solution buy a Diamond S hood:
