Well after taking my intake out this past weekend to bring the car into the dealer i noticed that there was a metal piece on the right side of the engine (facing the engine) that stuck out, from what i remember it was a slot to hold a hose i think. But it rubbed into my filter and ripped a hole in the mesh so i've decided to replace it. Stupid me left the filter in a box in the trunk of the car and i need to buy a filter for it but i don't know the size.

My questions are:
1) Does anyone have this "rubbing" issue? If so any way to fix it? I thought about bending the metal bar that holds the intake up, but wasn't sure if that'll do it.

2) What size filter does the RRM SRI come with? I might just buy a K&N version of it, but i don't know the inlet size.

Thanks for the help in advance

I wanna say the inlet size is something like 2.75, but i could be mistaken

 

No rubbing for me. Are you talking about the battery box rubbing on the air filter?

 

I dont have rubbing either, you shouldnt if you installed it correctly.

 

no it's a metal thing opposite the battery box... I think i'm going to run the stock intake for a little bit until i get my shortshifter kit from lancershop.com and install it all at once when i'm workin in the engine area...

 

Metal thing....hmmm....I removed a metal thing but it was like below and behind the battery box if your are looking from the front of the car.

Maybe a picture could help?
