Evolution Powersports - Can-Am Maverick X3 / X3 MAX Plenum Reinforcement Brace

The Clamp is a lightweight aluminum brace developed by Evolution Powersports and CA Technologies to prevent OEM intake plenums from failing under boost pressure. The CNC-machined brace reinforces weak points on the plenum, preventing premature failure on both stock and modified engines.

Construction: Made from 6061-T6 aluminum and designed using 3D scanning technology for a perfect fit. The brace balances optimal strength with minimal weight.

Simulated Testing: Extensive pressure testing compared OEM plenums with and without The Clamp. The clamped plenum withstood approximately 70 PSI with no damage, while an unclamped plenum failed at approximately 35 PSI. Real-world factors such as heat, vibration, shock, and engine pulsation cause unclamped plenums to fail at lower boost pressures, with documented failures occurring at pressures as low as 22 PSI and even at stock boost levels of 15 PSI.

Field Testing: The Clamp has been tested in harsh racing conditions including the Mint 400 and Iceman 500 races. Two vehicles completed the 400+ mile Mint 400 with no plenum issues. At the 2020 Iceman 500, a vehicle with The Clamp completed the 500-mile race without plenum damage, while an identical vehicle without The Clamp experienced plenum failure at approximately 300 miles. The clamp has also been tested on Dynomite 310 and Desert Storm 320 big turbo kits without issue.
