Thanks for the responses guys!

Craig, I plan on mainly off-road driving in the cart. Nothing serious, but just woods, dirt, occasional mud and water puddles.

Thanks Mike, I checked out Ron's build and it's pretty impressive but I don't want to quite go all out like he did money-wise. I should have mentioned that I'm keeping this project on a tight budget... I have too many other projects going on right now.

Why do you strongly suggest to keep the stock air box? If it is to simply insulate the filter from debris then I can pretty much do that by either mounting something like a UNI filter in a remote location, and/or create a shield for that type of filter to protect it from debris. I'd like to get a laundry list of stuff from Plowman's, but the budget just won't allow for it. I plan on getting the posi rear-end kit here in the coming months, and maybe a rear clutch kit and belt, but that's about it for the time.

But yeah I'd rather go with a UNI filter and pre-filter (to protect from water penetration) and use the ATV exhaust that I have for cost-saving measures if there is no strong reason to avoid going that route. What do you guys think?
