Good To Know

Q: Will this manifold work with a 2005 Sportsman 500 HO? A: It is designed for the 2001-2013 Sportsman 500 HO family, but confirm the serial number and original intake style before ordering.

Q: Does a cracked intake manifold cause running problems? A: A cracked or worn manifold can cause rough idle, lean running, backfiring, and weak throttle response. Replacing it restores the intake seal required for normal operation.
