The EVP Billet Aluminum Intake Plenum Reinforcement Kit for the Can-Am Maverick R is a proactive safety upgrade designed to prevent the factory plastic plenum from cracking or "blowing out" under pressure. Just like the previous generation Maverick X3, the Maverick R utilizes a composite plastic intake plenum that is susceptible to structural failure as heat and boost levels increase.
Whether you are running a stock machine or a high-boost X85/P47 tune, this kit provides the mechanical "girdle" necessary to ensure your intake tract remains sealed during high-RPM pulls.
Why Reinforce the OEM Plenum?
The factory plastic plenum is designed for standard operating conditions. However, performance enthusiasts often encounter two main issues:
-
Boost Pressure: Higher-than-stock boost levels put immense internal stress on the plastic seams, which can lead to catastrophic splitting.
-
Heat Cycles: Constant heating and cooling cycles in the engine bay can make the factory plastic brittle over time, increasing the likelihood of a blowout during a race or long trail ride.
Engineering & Construction
-
Three-Clamp Architecture: The kit consists of three separate billet aluminum clamps specifically contoured to wrap around the top and both sides of the plenum. This creates a 360-degree reinforcement zone at the most vulnerable stress points.
-
Billet Aluminum Durability: CNC-machined for a precision fit, these clamps are lightweight but offer significantly higher tensile strength than the plastic they are protecting.
-
Direct Bolt-On: Designed to fit perfectly over the OEM plenum without the need for permanent modifications, making it a simple but effective "insurance policy" for your engine.
Kit Inclusions
| Component | Quantity | Material |
| Top Plenum Clamp | 1 | CNC Billet Aluminum |
| Side Plenum Clamps | 2 | CNC Billet Aluminum |
| Mounting Hardware | Full Set | High-Strength Socket Head Screws |
Compatibility & Recommendations
-
Stock Maverick R: Highly recommended as a preventative measure to avoid future downtime.
-
Tuned Maverick R: Considered a mandatory upgrade for any vehicle running increased boost pressures to prevent a mid-ride failure.
-
Integration: This kit works seamlessly with the EVP Billet Fuel Rail, as both components target the reinforcement of the upper engine assembly.
Pro Tip: If you are already installing the EVP Engine Access Panel, take the opportunity to bolt these clamps on. Accessing the plenum from the cab is significantly easier than reaching through the rear of the vehicle.
