Potential to Make Some Money - Ram Air Scoops

[Illinois Boy]

Wow... this is an old thread you have dug-up.

Coming direct from the horse's mouth, you are correct in that BRP will provide any RT owner free scoops installed at no cost if they go to their dealer and request them due to heat issues.

Some believe they have to pay for the scoops; or have been told by dealers they have to buy them. This is not true. BRP pays for them, plus for the installation. If a dealer states you have to buy them, then move on to another dealer, unless you want to push the issue with them.

(This info is not related to 2013 models, which have had a recall to receive more than just the scoops.)

A final point... when re-reading through this thread there was much speculation as to whether scoops would help. I can attest, they do help.

They do not fully resolve the heat issue; but heat is decreased with the added air-flow to the engine when moving. They also provide an outlet for hot air to escape upwards when at a stop. They are definitely worth having put on.

Is this in writing anywhere?..They will install scoops on a 2012 free of charge?

Mine

When Pyder was down with additional limp mode problems, I mentioned to my dealer that I would like the Heat Management mod installed ( I offered to share cost) and BRP absorbed the entire cost as a warranty item. At least that is what appeared on the invoice. Oh, Pyder is a 2011 RTS with about 56K.

I do not have it in writing; but it is true. Go to your dealer and tell them you want the air-scoops installed because of heat on your machine.

Do not let your dealer tell you otherwise. Force them to call on the issue. If they do not; then find another dealer. There are plenty that know about this program.

There may be a time limit on how long BRP will offer this, so do not wait long.

(On another note; were you at Potosi's Beer Festival a few weeks back? We stopped-by that day and ate at the brewery's pub.)
