They are the BRP Scoops. Part number 219800388. As mentioned in other threads they are $67.00 plus tax. The vents are a great accessory at an unbelievable price from BRP.
Cooler glove box and seat area
Price above. You don't need the template. Send me a PM with your E-mail address and I'll send you a PDF file on how I did the install.
As explained above. Plus one of the very first mods I did was the CAT Bypass.
If anyone wants the instructions on how I installed them without the template send me a PM with your E-Mail address.
I just ordered my vents and can't wait to get them installed. I would appreciate a set of the installation instructions sent to snoopy44@cox.net. Thanks

My opinion is the Air Vent Kit is the best Mod that can done on any RT (2010-2015). Yes you should do it and it is only$67+tax but you should get BRP to install them for free.

BRP agreed to provide them and have them installed for free for me after a call to my dealer about excessive heat.
ZERO charge to me. They were installed yesterday and work beautifully... I had them installed on my '11 RTS.
No one with a pre-2014 RT should be paying for these or their installation.
Push the heat issue with your dealer to get these for free from BRP. The dealer is getting them for free and is being paid to install them; so you should not have to pay.

Not sure why this is true. All the 10 thru 12 owners told us 13 owners repeatedly for years they did not have heat issues. Told the NHTSA the same thing and were dropped from the investigation for that reason.
Its interesting to see 2014 and newer bike owners wanting the cool ride the 2013 bikes provide.....

The dealer receives a set of the templates so they can do multiple installations for the 2013 RT's. The templates are a time management thing for the dealers to quickly do the 2013 Recall. If you buy just the Vent kit you can use the vent as a template to make the cutout.

Yes ... also if you still have warranty (ie: Best extended) BRP are covering the costs. My wife had the scoops installed on her 2012 2 weeks ago and BRP picked up the tab!

As has been reported here in another thread there is a TST # 112333 that addresses the installation of the vent kit on the 2010-2012 model RT's. It is available to those owners thru BRP as stated.

Yes I have a 2014 RT and installed the Vent Kit. Why did I do it? There is still heat from the engine compartment though not like the 998 engines configuration because of the way the 1330 engine exhaust has been moved to the from of the engine and the radiators have been moved way forward of the engine. The fact remains there is a engine that is enclosed in plastic and the top of the engine is covered in a ton of plastic called a air box that prevents good air circulation at the top of the engine. The bottom line is there is heat in the seat and glove box area as has been reported by other members of the 2014-2015 model. The temps here in Southeast Georgia have been in the high 90's for the past month and a half. Adding the vents has helped. The next best thing to get rid if the heat is to get rid of all the plastic on the top of the engine (air box and resonator/filter assembly). Benefit of this would allow access to the top of the engine without having to spend the time removing the air box and resonator just to get to the spark plugs.

So my dealer tells me my 2012 RT Ltd is not covered by the recall. That's fine, because for the results others have reported I am willing to fork over the nominal cost. Besides I really don't want to leave the bike in the shop for "who knows how many days" while they do something I can do myself in a few hours.
The questions I have are:
1 - Is the $67 for a pair (both sides) or just one?
2 - Do I order through BRP online or the dealers parts desk?
3 - Just reference the 219800388 part number?

Correct
As it was mentioned on another thread the 2010 - 2012 RT's are covered under TST # 112333 but then again some dealers are saying it isn't covered because if they do the mod BRP only pays them a fixed fee.

I have no problem with heat in the 1330 I feel some warm air around the glove box/ seat area but no way do I need to add more vents/scopes or air conditioning in or around my Tupperware..
The 1330 is one fine bike..Now if you want to feel heat go jump on a HARLEY on a hot day.

Doc, I don't oppose your vent installation. However the plastic on the top of the 1330 is not the airbox. The plastic atop the engine is the intake manifold. The concept of replacing it similar to the V twin may not have the same merits.
The two airboxes sit left and right of center and have little effect on blocking airflow.
The 1330 throttle body is forward facing. The still airbox is forward forward of that. The duct that couple the 1 airbox to the still airbox its over the steering unit. Airbox #1 is on the left side.
The airboxes could be removed, not sure you would gain much. The intake manifold would be more difficult, but someone with enough skills, time and money could design a new one. Lot of work though.
