CAN-AM OUTLANDER 800; 20 Sep-12

The K&N Engineering CM-8009 air induction system for the Can-Am Outlander 800 (2009–2012) is a direct-fit, clamp-on intake designed to increase airflow to the engine while maintaining the factory mounting footprint. This reusable cotton filter system delivers measurable improvements in air delivery with a straightforward installation that requires no permanent modifications to the vehicle's original intake structure.

The 4-5/8-inch tall intake tube features a 3-inch flanged inlet designed to mate with the OEM airbox location, allowing unrestricted airflow while the washable cotton element captures particulates without sacrificing volume. K&N's reusable filter technology eliminates the cost and waste of disposable paper elements—simply clean the cotton media at service intervals with K&N's cleaning kit, re-oil it, and reinstall. This approach reduces long-term operating costs and provides consistent performance across multiple seasons of off-road use.

The Can-Am Outlander 800 benefits from increased intake volume during sustained throttle applications—whether on trail climbs, sand riding, or mud work where the engine demands peak air supply. Owners prioritizing fuel efficiency alongside responsive throttle response find that optimized intake flow reduces the density compensation the fuel management system must apply under load. The lightweight construction (1.81 lbs) adds negligible mass while the compact dimensions fit within standard equipment racks and handlebar configurations common to modern ATV setups.

This intake is purpose-built for Outlander 800 owners seeking bolt-on performance without aftermarket air box modification. The design integrates with factory throttle bodies and fuel injection systems, requiring zero ECU tuning or secondary adjustments. Compatibility is limited to model years 2009–2012; verify fitment against your specific Outlander generation before purchase.
