I got this done yesterday. I went on a long ride in 94 degree heat and it's still warm but not nearly a hot, especially in the rear end which was my main focus. Before it was unbearable in any heat with the windshield on, and we would take it off, but now it's usable with the windshield on. I'm going to install a fan under the driver seat to pull the heat out of the engine bay so it doesn't come up into the cab.
I did this on my 2014 Teryx4. It did help with the heat a little but not the noise. I recently installed my own snorkel kit for the air intake and CVT. Mainly because I wanted to keep my CVT belt cooler. Which it did along with an inline fan/blower. (I have set up with a temp gauge and manual switch that I control when it starts to go over 190 degrees.) by doing both of these it dramatically reduced the heat and noise in the cab area. Keep in mind your air intake is directly under the dash in between the driver/ passenger seats. As soon as I can I will be posting a video of what it looks like for other Teryx owners. Be safe and share the trail!
Thanks for the video I have a 2018 2 seater it is noisy the noise doesn't really bother me and the Heat I agree with you on I ended up getting a fan that plugs into where you charge your phone or what have you I have a question as far as your tires go you change the front it looks like did you go with the same size as the ones in the rear from the factory
Thank you for all the info and data. Do you think exhaust wrap would help any? Also, if you had a brand new Teryx (still factory clean), do you think you could do the bulk of the work by only removing the skid plates and working from below? I just got a 2020 yesterday and was thinking of doing this before it got dirty. Just in the yard, you can tell it is hot. I knew this problem ahead of time as I had already watched a ton of videos and reviews before ever deciding on what to get.
Yeah exhaust wrap was something I was look as well. Honestly I don’t believe taking the skid plates off would be a good option. This work really needs to be done by stripping the inside out. -Garrett
I have a 2018 Teryx4 and I dont really mind the heat since I use my rig mostly for hunting. We dont ride alot in the summer time in AZ unless its in the high country. So the noise factor. Is the V-twin just a loud motor by design or is it mostly the stock exhuast?
i know im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow lost the password. I would love any tricks you can give me!
@Aden Kaiser I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
So far over 600 miles in and no issues with belt and diffidently no issues with motor/ coolant temps. I’m pushing just over 1,400 miles since new with the stock OEM belt. It still might be to soon to see if it affects belt, but I will keep everyone updated. Thanks for watching -Garrett
If heat shielding affects engine temps, something is wrong with your radiator/coolant situation. There is absolutely no reason that your engine should rely on dumping heat into the cab in order to maintain proper operating temps. I've seen no issues with the belt since doing heat shielding on mine over a year ago, but if you have concerns about that, you could always install a blower on the belt air intake for a few bucks...
@@DerangedOffRoad awesome, thanks! Not sure how I missed that! Lol Just rebuilt the motor on my commander 1000 and these are even worse with heat. Sounding like all brands need to install this type of stuff at the factory! Thanks again!
I am planning on doing this, combined with removing both cats and heat wrapping the exhaust. Might as well do them all when I'm in there.

Let me know when you get that video out. Hope you subscribed and I would love to see other videos. Do you have a TH-cam channel?
Deranged
Deranged Off-Road will do.
Love the Toyota sweater (4runner owner), also an owner of a 2018 Teryx 4 LE! Thanks for the video demo!
Once I put a roof and windshield on mine the heat became a problem. I’ll be giving this a try
That's a good idea. Good job. I'd definitely do this if I had a mid engine machine.
If I had one of those machines, I'd airbrush a dinosaur on it and call it T-Rex.
Did you remove the rear floor? Is there a trick to getting it out? There doesn't seem to be enough room to get it out of the frame.
No I didn’t pull it out.
Good video guys, hit us up for some superior performing sound and heat products...we can get you some more sound and heat reduction. #TeamSecondSkin

The rears run 11 inches wide and 9 inches in the front stock I believe. I went with 10 inches all around.
Have you added this to your newer machine, the Orange KRX, if so, how was that install?
No we did not, maybe we will down the road. I did add it to the KRX two seater.
Thanks for the video, I was really looking forward to finding out if there is a quieter muffler we could use for the teryx4?
Look into this one and make sure to get the QS model. It’s more of the quiet one.

i have heard people talking about a caramic paint called lizzard skin , they said it cut temps way back .
Honestly I have never hear of it. -Garrett
Like this video I might do it. Wondered about using dynamat. What they put in your trunk to lessen the rattle of subwoofers
I am curious about how you made that pad.

@Aden Kaiser it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much you really help me out :D
@Melvin Atlas glad I could help :)
Has anyone tried doubling it up (two layers)? Would it help?
Way too thick in order to get everything back on.
how much of the heat shield did you use? Thanks.
I had to order two of the 16 sq ft heat shield. I used one full one and about 1/4 of the other.
Approx how long did the entire install process take?
I would say a little longer for me because of filming. If you do it right I think about 3 to 4 hours total. I broke mine up in 3 different nights.
I'd be curious to find out the impact on belt life and overall engine coolant temps
So far over 600 miles in and no issues with belt and diffidently no issues with motor/ coolant temps. I’m pushing just over 1,400 miles since new with the stock OEM belt. It still might be to soon to see if it affects belt, but I will keep everyone updated. Thanks for watching -Garrett

Hey so it’s been a year, how’s it holding up?
Which brand/model of heat shield kit did you get?
I sold the machine a few months ago and it was holding up great. The links to what I used are in the description of the vid. 👍
@@DerangedOffRoad awesome, thanks! Not sure how I missed that! Lol
Just rebuilt the motor on my commander 1000 and these are even worse with heat. Sounding like all brands need to install this type of stuff at the factory!

Better lighting would help...just saying
Im hearing best way to combat the heat is remove the catalytic converters. Suposedly it won't cause the engine light on
Yea that was going to be my next project and then I sold the machine.
Im in Alaska so the heats only a issue in June & July
Im dieing to see some reviews on the new S models. Curious about the ride quality with the the long travel upgrade
what if you wrapped your exhaust got mine apart like to know before i put it back together
I have read a lot about that and have heard pros and cons. I have not done it myself. Basically for me I felt it wasn’t worth the time or money.
It’s a shame to see men wanting to isolate the sound of a 90 degree v-twin.
