Hey guys,
I was toying around my engine bay tonight and I noticed the the snorkel/scoop where it connects to the airbox is not completely flush. Its not sticking out a ton, just the left side of the inlet is further out than the right. I tried repositioning it, but with the the screw holes for the snorkel it wasnt possible to line it up completely. I am wondering if this is cause for concern? If you guys get the chance, take a look at yours where it connects to the airbox and tell me if thats just normal. Appreciate it.

 

Also, I changed out the K&N with the stock filter to try and see if it was a fitment issue and it seems both the filters have a large gap towards the bottom right side. I have read Chi towns thread I know how to install, but its kinda wierd. Ok edit, turns out I was wrong, clips werent aligned properly. Sh*t, I was running my car like that for a while, yikes, all good now, except for the original post about the actual scoop being a little off.

 

You should be fine. Most of the ralliarts I have seen their the same way. Might just be a poor design flaw.

 

Cool. Man I feel dumb as hell. I thought that my car had lost horsepower, it was weird. Turns out the filter wasnt flush, now that it is it is like night and day.

 

The filter can be tricky sometime.
