questions about snorkelling exhaust belt

TRV2010 · Jul 24, 2014

Trying to snorkel the exhaust belt tonight in a TRV.

Ive read all the threads about snorkelling so please don't tell me to search it.

My issue is there is NO room to put a 2 inch ABS pipe to get the snorkel over the belt housing. I could possibly use a soft pipe to squish through the tight opening, but it would be squished against the belt housing. So I'm guesing it will get way too much heat and melt.

Could I use 1 inch ABS to snorkell the exhaust? Would this be too small?

TRV's are no fun to snorkell.. If your thinking of buying one, know this. The power steering made it really difficult to snorkel the intake and belt intake. Now, the frame design is making it impossible to do the belt exahust.

I'm thinking you could use a flexable pipe to take care of it. But I wouldn't neck it to 1 inch.

The heat prob isn't as big of a deal as one would think.

its not the rigidity of the ABS thats the issue, its the space between the frame and engine. I'll try a flexible pipe in there tomorow. thanks.

ABS is brittle and will break easier than PVC...

Look at post #617 in link below and you will see how doorfx ran 2" flex duct when he did his belt exhaust.

I already pm'd him to see if he had more pictures.. in the 4th pic of his post I don''t think I can get the hose between the frame and engine like he did.

I don't know if the TRV's are different than regular chassis, but I was able to do it on my 2012 GT 700. It was a very very tight fit but it did make it. I have since switched to a top port but I was going to switch it to a Mud Pro 1000 boot to then go up to the rest of the MP snorkel setup.

i used sch 40 flex hose 1 1/2 in for the exhaust but had to use 2 sch 40 90's to make the u-turn then used the flex hose...i did wrap it in heat tape bc it layes right on my belt drive housing and right next to the cylender head just to be safe
