EVP XR Series High Flow Intake (HFI) Kits for Can Am Maverick X3
The EVP XR Series High-Flow Intake (HFI) Kit is a purpose-built racing upgrade designed to eliminate the restrictive factory airbox on the Can-Am Maverick X3. By delivering smooth, laminar airflow directly to the turbocharger inlet, this system unlocks significant horsepower gains that the OEM canister-style intake simply cannot support.
Whether you are running a stock turbo or a high-output race build, the XR Series HFI optimizes compressor efficiency for faster spooling and increased top-end power.
Performance Gains
-
Big Turbo Applications: Gain upwards of 15 HP when paired with EVP DS-355 or higher turbo systems.
-
Stock Turbo Applications: Gain a solid 5–10 HP by reducing intake vacuum and turbulence.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Unrestricted Airflow: The proprietary design replaces the turbulent OEM airbox with smooth silicone elbow tubes and a gradual diameter taper for maximum flow efficiency.
-
Maintenance Access: By eliminating the bulky OEM airbox tray and CVT ducts, this kit creates a "race-ready" engine bay that makes spark plug changes and general maintenance significantly faster.
-
Weight Reduction: Removes unnecessary plastic clutter and heavy factory mounting hardware.
-
Complete Filtration: Every kit includes a low-restriction high-flow filter element and an EVP water-repellent pre-filter for added protection.
