One thing I did not show in the video is the ECU tune. Obviously, when changing intake or exhaust significantly, one should use a fuel controller or tune the ECU with a Powervision-CX (from Fuelmoto).
Just did the install. This video was very helpful. Thanks for posting it.
How did it work out for you? I am thinking you needed to re-cal computer for different air flow?
Great job on this video! I bought the upgrade kit 2nd hand. Was able to use this video to complete the installation quickly! Thank you!
This was so helpful, some steps to miss on my 21 Cheif Bobber Darkhorse, but really appreciate it.
Didn't get instructions how to do install for my 2021 Springfield DH. found your CZcams instruction. Thanks you, your vid was very helpful. Will start it in the Morning and see.
Good luck! 👍🏼 -chad
Very helpful . Walked me threw the install on my 2020 Springfield dark horse. Thanks brother
Happy to help! -chad
Thanks for the video. It was very useful and cleared up a few things. Defiantly made it easer for me to install.
Love those Indians! They just get better and better!
Thanks for watching, Michael. If you want to see some of our ride videos, check out our ride playlist here: czcams.com/channels/2o84Ea1Z-HiiYlbBbKkVqw.htmlplaylists
I have the new Performance Ram Jet high flow air cleaner from indian, and i am very happy with it. It was installed last week 03/21/17 on my 2017 Chieftain along with Freedom True dual headers and Freedom 4.5 Outlaw pipes. and Stage 2 cams. Great choice for me considering it is the same price as the regular "high flow air cleaner here" I wou ld of done the same air cleaner as here , but i was lucky with the timing as too Indian released it on a Monday and it was ordered just in time to get to my dealer on the following Friday. Nothing against Chad. He is a good guy who has been busy improving his Roadmaster. Sucks that Indian releases new parts right after we purchase parts. 2 days after i purchased mine they started offering it in black... go figure. Keep dong what your doing Chad, love your handlebar video by the way, not sure even after watching your video i have the balls to tackle that yet. By the way it is "suppose to increase HP BY 4 HP. " hard to tell when all of these upgrades get done at once. I wasn't sure if i liked the new air cleaner at first but the more i see it the more i like it. Really is quite massive. I will be doing a video on all of the endless upgrades i have done on my new Chieftain soon $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ .
Cams are next for sure... I had been waiting to see the new Indian AC, but after I saw it, it was too much like the old bedpan for my taste. I prefer the look of the original. Been out of town for two weeks... I'll finally get to ride more today! :)
Chad, I understand it's all about personal preferences. At first when i saw it I wasn't sure about it myself. Now it has grown on me I think it gives the bike a certain character too it. Hope you enjoy your ride and stay safe.
Michael Rhymer considering the stage 2 cams from Indian or now Lloydz has some as well. What's your take on them? Any more top end noise (valve train)?
Thanks Chad. You are the best!
Great video, used it to flow through my install. I will note a few things. The gromets that you need to take off the old mounting bracket unit and reuse are a bitch to take off and put on the new...they do have little metal sleeves in them that you need to reuse also. Thanks
Just did this install on my 2019 CDH only difference is the throttle body o-rings that need to be re-used are different so had to order 2 o-rings #5813886 and install was perfect thanks to you.
why did you have to re-use o-rings for 2019? The re-used o-rings were for the spacer, which isn't used for 2019 and newer. However, the on that came in my kit was too big, by at 1/8 of an inch, also, while I was trying to get the o-ring installed, I noticed a hairline crack in the surface that mounts up to the throttle body. Have to wait until Tuesday to see what the dealer will say or do, hopefully, they exchange it for me. Otherwise, I'm out 519.00
@@smsgtjoe8411 the high flow intake as advertised should be compatible with the 2019 and 2020 and in the instructions it calls for the re-use of the o-rings from the original intake which is not compatible with the high flow intake I ended up ordering the o-rings from a 2018 cheiftain which work perfectly no problems then took to dealer for the tune. The dealer and Polaris customer service have been pretty good so far at resolving issues like that so I think u will be fine.
Really helpful video, thanks a lot!
Chad...thanks for sharing the A/C install. I have been trying to decide on this A/C or the new kit that just recently was released (# 2881779-156). Curious to know if you considered the new option and why you chose this version. Great job on your videos....very informative. Cheers - Kevin
Yea....I was waiting to see what it was after I heard the rumor of a new AC. Finally got impatient and had some expiring gift certificates to blow, so I ordered the one in the video. But after I saw the new one I was glad I got the old/current one. New one is not my style and too much like the old bed pan. The lack of aesthetics aren't worth the couple extra HP it *might* produce... IMHO
Did you also do Stage 1 Calibration at Indian workshop as well?
No. Just used the FuelMoto tunes.
I read on this video it says to get computer reflashed after installing this air cleaner? Did you have that done Chad?
Yes. I have the DynoJet PVCX from FuelMoto (vendor)... Allows me to flash the ECU myself with tunes from Dynojet or FuelMoto. They have tunes for all kinds of combinations.
great video!! You think the OEM breather hose would work or it's too short?
Thanks! Man! It's been a while. But looking at the vide around 11:54, it looks like the hose provided with the kit is just a bit longer. I can't say for sure, but my official answer is maybe! LOL
I think this might be a step in the wrong direction. Using the filter, negates the frame AIR BOX in frame which is there for a GOOD REASON! How did this turn out for you?
BTW, good video Sub'd and T-up!
Indian engineers would not have gone to all the trouble of incorporating the frame as part of the induction system. It would have saved them a lot of time and money to just mount a filter to the Throttle body with no further engineering acumen !!!! What say you? ALSO WHAT ABOUT re-cal of engine computer?
It's been so long since I did this mod, I'm not sure I follow. I guess you're talking about the cap for the frame part of the stock air flow? My guess is that since the stock air box was kind of enclosed, it needed a little more help getting air in from the front of the frame.... while the high flow air cleaner can suck all the air it needs directly.
Either way, it's been working great!
And, yes... any change to the intake / exhaust usually gets an ECU re-program, which I did using the PVCX.
@@ChadsStuff I am glad it is working great. If you don't mind I have a few questions. The same questions I would ask should we meet at a rally. Have you ridden through pouring rain? How do you service the air filter, just replace & how often?
If you don't mind what does the air filter cost. What changes in the way the engine runs.... have you noticed?
Great job on all vids Chad . I was wondering if have the old air cleaner? Looking for the air box base and filter retainer would you be willing to sale ? How much if so
Yes, I do... $50 + shipping?
Chad Florian , sounds good. Could you send me your address so I can get ups cost for shipping. Have a great day ride hard
Perry, Email me and we can continue this there... I'll send you my address and pics, so we can make sure you're getting what you expect. My email is me@chadflorian.com
Did you notice the sound change after installing it?
Yes. You can definitely hear it sucking air, but it's not a very obtrusive sound.
Chad, is this considered the stage 1 air filter?
I believe so.. I think everything intake and exhaust are considered stage 1 and cams are stage 2... at least that's my take.. -chad
Saddle cover Where to buy?

I had the dealer do it. I like it as well but what does it say for cleaning the filter thanks.
Phil, if it is like the K&N air cleaners just clean it with their cleaner.
Indian's instructions say water and a "mild degreaser" like Simple Green or 409.
Jadie Matthew does it say to add the oil like the K&N filters use after cleaning it?
