I made a set for my 29 a few years ago.

All the curved surfaces made it difficult
for them to look like they belong on the boat
when looking at them from certain angles.

Plus, they had to be bonded on rather than
screwed on.

Pay no attention to those silver thing attached
to the underside of the hatch, they were not supposed
to be unveiled yet

There still is some cosmetic work to do them, before
they're considered "streetable".


Do they make a difference?

They are ducted to outside air, it is sealed off from
engine compartment air.

I put a temperature probe in the air box, right near the
flame arrestor, it measured what the outside air temp was
( 77 degrees) I then put the probe in the engine compartment, 104 degrees.

Here's what I did noticed while running.

Before the boxes, after about 30 seconds of
WOT, they would kind of fade a bit, drop about
200 rpm.

After the boxes, they dont fade at all.

I'll post more pics of the air boxes and the
other enhancements for airflow when the
cosmetics are done.

Jaay Teee,

My hat it off to you my man. You represent all the great values of a dedicated "Baja" owner.

Your boat is awesome and the upgrades demonstrate the pride you have in your boat and most importantly the ability to make it happen.

FANTASTIC

Dock

JaayTeee, do you know if the stock vents are also aluminum? I am thinking about having someone blast the paint off mine and polish them so they match the rear vents I found.

Yes they are aluminum.

I have two new sets of vent covers for the 25 Outlaw if anyone wants them. I paid $75.00 per pair and will sell them at the same price.

These are still sealed and have never been installed on a boat.
