Big Bear Snorkel/exhaust trouble

I have a 2008 big bear. Put on a K & N filter and a supertrapp mudslinger exhuast. Sounded and ran great. Then, I got one of those rediculous pipes that goes way up and then extends out to keep water out when you go deep. Also ordered a snorkel from bayou snorkels and put it on at the same time. Heard that you're supposed to run the two hoses from the carburetor that stick up under the seat to high ground so i extended them out and up. Did the same with the hose that comes from the left front of the engine because it was connected to the stock air intake that came off. Now when i give it any gas it struggles and sometimes dies. I'm just wondering what I did wrong (if anything) or if it just needs a jet kit really bad or if that rediculous pipe has something to do with it. I know this is a really long message, and any help would be deeply appreciated!!!

Sounds like you need a jet kit.

Thanks, I hope that's all it is!!

I just went thru a similar problem snorkeling my Rhino 660. If its the same problem, you will have to buy some pipe reducers to install in the end of you intake snorkel. Example: if your snorkel is 2 inch-buy a 2" to 1 3/4" reducer-install it in the end of the snorkel and see how it runs. If its better but not totally good, then go to the next size down. Good luck! oldatvr

Before going that far try tie wrapping a wash cloth around your intake, that should block enough air to let you know if that is the issue.

i also have an 08 big bear with a kn and a bayou snorkel. mine did the same thing. you can do that reducer or go with a dyno jet kit. if you do the jet use the dj112. it says to use the dj114. but that is for factory airflow. when i get in water up to the top of my fenders mine dies. i have all the lines ran up. water isn't getting in the air box or the oil. when i pull it out it takes a minute to crank but runs fine after that. i would appreciate any pointers.
