RT Air Scoops

[Brogers57]

Got em installed! Excuse the mess! Followed Doc's & BRP instructions. I did have the dealer cut it for me, was well worth the $50 they charged me. Cannot wait to test.

They worked well on our 2012.

Air scoops

Installed them on my 2014 RTS and have been happy ever since. You will find that the heat is no longer in your glove box or between the glove box and seat. MUCH cooler.

They do work. Interesting how such a simple thing can make such a difference. I know that they - along with the other work done as part of the 2013 RT recall - made a huge difference with the heat problems on my 2013 RTL. You will be glad that you did it.

Covers

Make sure the plastic caps that cover the holes for the two bolts are seated properly. They are a little bit of a bugger to get clipped in. I saw a lot of pictures of the new vents and those covers were missing.

Can I get this Kit in Chrome or part chrome?

No, they only come in gloss/flat black. You can, however, paint them to match the color of your Spyder.

:agree: But I've seen some that were painted, and they looked awesome! :clap:


Taxmyzer painted his... :bowdown:

Yeah I pushed and pushed on them. Hopefully they stay in!

I have a 2011 RTL that I have to park outside the garage after long rides until the gas smell goes away. This happens when the gas tank heats up on longer rides and boils the gas. I am hoping this air scoop kit may solve my heat buildup problem. If I can't get BRP to supply the kit I'll get it from the Powersports Warehouse for $46.89.

If you haven't already consider removing the 2 splash pans under the engine for even better air flow with the scoops.

I removed the two splash pans a couple years ago. It helped a little but not enough. Hoping the air scoop kit is the answer for my heat problem.

I'm sure they will. Just by looking out the outline of these and how their installed it only makes sense that everything will be cooler. [emoji1303]

They have to be oriented correctly. Then they will pop in easily.

Yeah their in. Just extra pushing to ensure they don't fall out [emoji851]
