made my own years back for my 600SXR.After a major snowstorm here..like I was running in 2-3 feet of fresh snow,my sled was bogging and then goes and bogging and goes.I knew it was the exhaust outlet.So made a deflector that day and sled ran great in the deep stuff and no hesitation.

NOTE: my SRX came with one from the factory.

yes, they do make a difference. i prefer the factory made yamaha ones from the mountain sleds as they have a superior design over slp and homemade. yamaha part # 8EN-2194H-00-00. around $20 at your local dealer.

To be honest, the SLP thing looks liks like as much of a snow deflector than just the bracket for the Yamaha snow deflector.

Really? I never notice on mine. Did they do that just for 02?

There's no snow deflector for the SRX stock,

I looked the other day underneath and notice the plastic belly pan is already molded into a deflector on mine. I guess you guys are going one step further...
