This video should help you;

"tunnel protectors? Purpose?"... The tunnel is the part of your snowmobile chassis that the track runs inside of. With studs installed on the track, if the track frame suspension were to bottom out, the studs could hit and tear up the tunnel area, or even worse take out a heat exchanger.

I installed hyfax using stainless steal rivets on all of my sleds. Keep in mind that you want to have about 1" side to side clearance so the studs do not hit the hyfax.

Hyfax is inexpensive. You will need the year, make and model of your sled to purchase the stud kit, for proper clearances.

Good luck and Happy sledding.
