Injen Intake HELP! Options

[Stipt]

When I took out my air filter box, there is like a hole on the right wall under the hood that my filter is pointing too. Is that were the air comes in? And should my filter be touching it or is it fine a couple inches away? Also when I start my car I get this weird noise from under my hood. Kind of high pitched. I was wondering if this was the intake or not. Thanks!

Hi all,

Just a note the hole in the right wall is for the air intake, but it is not forced. Its sucked up inside the front guard. Once you remove the box it breaks the vaccume seal and it becomes useless for cool air.

A better idea for forced cold air intake is to run a 3inch Flexible water pipe. Those sold at landscaping shops and run it from next to the Battery (attach with zip locks) pointing at your filter pod and run down past behind the radiator & the Clutch mech.
From here cut a whole or widen the air vent on the bottom plastic splash guard and poke the pipe out from here facing forward so air is pushed in.

A good tip is to place an old stocking over the end on the pipe to stop leaves & old cig butts from getting under the hood from the pipe.

To aviod heat soak wrap the pipe in Industrail foil a coupel of time and duct tape or zip tie into place.

Cheers
