Looking for an F3 aftermarket air intake - any ideas on suppliers? And A/mkt Skid plates - anyone make them still, too?

[SNOOPY]

Anyone hear any news of an aftermarket air intake for the F3 bikes? These have been out a while and strangely, I can’t find anything. On my STS I like the extra noise that the aftermarket intake makes and I was hoping for the same.

Was looking for a front skid plate also, and doesn’t look like anyone makes those anymore.

Lamonster Garage and Spyderpops sell the front bump skids.

I’ll have to look harder. I couldn’t find anything, maybe they have a different name now.

What year and model?

I found air filters for my Spyder at K&N, but not replacement intakes.

Not just a filter, a performance aftermarket intake. 2026 F3-S hard to believe after years of the 1330 motor there’s no one making an intake/cold air intake like they did for the 998cc

I was not able to find any aftermarket intakes for any CAN-AM Spyder or Ryker models.

Google did find a reference to a mod to go along with a better air filter.
It basically drills a couple of holes in the air box cover.

I also found a Baja Ron kit for the 998cc engines that has a couple of large openings in the cover:

Maybe one isn't necessary for better performance ?

I have that upgrade on my 998 motor

Mainly looking for the sound it produces like on my 998cc Spyder

So make a puttering sound with your mouth while riding.

There! I solved it for you!

It's also listed on the Lamonster Garage website, but is showing as out of stock.
So contact them and ask if they are going to be restocking it. They have an email address listed at the bottom of the page.

Monster flash requires drilling (2) 1 inch holes on both sides of the intake cover. Not exactly cold/cool air, but it allows more intake. That said, don't do this without making any fueling changes! On my past F3S, with a Dyno Jet PV/custom maps, the bike would pop/fart terribly on decel without a tune with better fueling. I also used these .. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1164345295...4DJtuoa-X8rCcxN7S7J2qZD4hkalNT3hoCaVwQAvD_BwE that easily snapped into place. I took out the foam and just used them for the screen. This was it with 1" black plastic hole caps pushed in.

Okay, perhaps why no aftermarket intake if a simple change needs a tune.
