I seen on here somewhere where someone drilled a second hole on their Airbox and added a second breather for the Airbox. Would this help the bikes performance? Hurt it?

Doesn't give "more" performance but keeps it from being restricted by the long single snorkel

You can buy the 2014 belt box cover, it will have the second intake located right in front of the secondary

No added "performance" but it is suppose to help with keeping your belt temp lower and thus should help to extend belt life.

Since when is the cvt belt box cover refered to as the air box??

 

[desertdog]

Ahhh $hit.....your right. I got caught up reading and replying to the other post's and thought he was reffering to his clutch cover because that is something else that gets snorkeled. My bad. good catch.

So as a more relevant reply to the OP post. Adding another snorkle or openings to help the engine breath does add some performance IMO, but it may not be what you think. On my car, when I added 5 small filtered holes to help it breath, all it did was help the throttle response be a little quicker. Its very slight but noticeable. I also have an aftermarket exhaust which also help's the throttle response improve.

Dam I straight up missed that part to. It was the second snorkel part that got me

I posted pics a while back where I drilled and ran a second snorkel for my air box and honestly guys all it did was bring performance back to how it was before I originally snorkeled it. It mostly compensated for the amount of distance the air now has to travel to get into the box.

Will just lower the CVT clutch belt temp, I wouldn't expect any performance gain.

I added a second snorkel to mine also but that was just to allow better flow into the box to try and prevent the engine from sucking air around the lid of the air box into the clean zone.
