Improve airflow to the turbo while retaining the original filtration

The Evolution Powersports (EVP) V-Flow intake hose replaces the stock accordion-style hose located between the airbox and the turbocharger of the 2020+ Can-Am Maverick X3.

The accordion shape of the stock hose creates turbulence in the airflow just before it reaches the turbo compressor. These disturbances reduce efficiency and become even more detrimental as the engine's air requirements increase.

The V-Flow uses a high-temperature silicone construction with a much smoother internal transition, allowing air to flow more freely between the airbox and the turbo.

➡️ A simple and effective improvement for the Maverick X3 intake, without removing or modifying the original Donaldson filtration system.

💨 Smoother airflow to the turbo

A turbocharger functions more efficiently when the airflow reaching the compressor inlet is smooth and encounters as few restrictions as possible.

The accordion design of the stock hose disrupts this flow.

The V-Flow, by contrast, uses a smooth internal transition between the airbox and the turbocharger.

Result:

✔ Reduced turbulence
✔ Smoother airflow
✔ Fewer restrictions before the turbo
✔ Better compressor supply
✔ More efficient turbocharger operation

🚀 Reduce restrictions before the turbo

Any restriction upstream of the turbocharger directly affects its ability to draw the volume of air required by the engine.

The V-Flow allows for a freer connection between the airbox and the turbo, without having to replace the entire intake system.

This modification is particularly beneficial on X3 models that are:

✔ Reprogrammed (tuned)
✔ Running increased boost pressure
✔ Used in competition
✔ Subjected to heavy, prolonged loads
✔ Equipped with other engine upgrades

➡️ The higher the air demand, the more important it becomes to reduce restrictions upstream of the turbo.

🌪️ Elimination of the stock accordion hose

The main difference between the V-Flow and the OEM hose lies in the shape of the conduit.

Stock hose

Its accordion structure creates an irregular internal surface that disrupts air movement.

EVP V-Flow

Its design offers a much more consistent and fluid transition to the turbo inlet.

This helps limit turbulence exactly where clean airflow is most critical: at the compressor inlet.

🌡️ High-temperature silicone

The V-Flow is manufactured from high-temperature silicone, perfectly suited for its location in the Maverick X3 engine bay.

Its design combines:

✔ Resistance to high temperatures
✔ Flexibility
✔ Excellent long-term durability
✔ Regular internal surface
✔ Optimized airflow

🛡️ Original Donaldson filtration retained

This is one of the main advantages of the V-Flow:

The original Donaldson filtration system remains completely unchanged.

The V-Flow only affects the connection between the airbox and the turbocharger.

You therefore retain the filtration capacity of the OEM system, which is particularly beneficial for use in:

✔ Dust
✔ Sand
✔ Mud
✔ Rally raids
✔ Long-distance rides

➡️ More flow without sacrificing original filtration.

🔧 A simple intake modification

Unlike the EVP V-Flow for the 2017-2019 Maverick X3, this 2020+ version does not require replacing the airbox outlet with a billet aluminum part.

The modification is therefore much simpler: the V-Flow hose replaces the original connection between the airbox and the turbo.

It is an excellent first upgrade for an X3 before potentially moving on to a full HFI intake system.
