2021 MULE PRO FXT RANCH AIR FILTER INTAKE

[89801mike]

I HAVE JUST PURCHASED A NEW 21 MULE PRO FXT RANCH 5/14/21........AFTER PUTTING THE FIRST 120 MILES I DECIDED TO LOOK IT ALL OVER ONLY TO FIND AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF DIRT CLOGGING THE AIR FILTER.  OBVIOUSLY I LIVE IN THE DESERT SO DUST IS AN ISSUE ANYWAY.  I FOUND THE AIR INTAKE FOR THE AIR FILTER & THE DRIVE BELT CASE TO BE INSIDE THE SIDE BATTERY/AIR FILTER BOX, IN A CLOSED AREA VERY LOW IN THE MACHINE.  HAS ANYONE FOUND THIS TO BE AN ISSUE?  IF I CHANGE THE AIR INTAKE WILL THIS EFFECT MY WARRANTY?

DOES ANYONE HAVE SUGGESTIONS FORA BETTER CLEANER AIR SOURCE?  I AM CONSIDERING THE "WARRIOR SNORKEL KIT", HOPE FULLY I CAN FIND A LESSER EXPENSIVE FIX.  ALL SERIOUS SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOME.

If you change the air intake it will most likely void the warranty. if a component isn't sealed correctly ( i.e., starts sucking in dust) that will wipe out the cylinders pretty quick and you'll start burning oil and lose compression.

i would contact your dealer and see if there are any  filter systems that will NOT void the warranty that are a upgrade.
