Air intake on 16v



Yank it but don't loose it... This warm air box pushes around $200 at the 
stealership and you need it to pass visual inspections. The plastic 
coupling hose is kinda expensive and the fiber covered warm air hose from 
the manifold is ridiculously expensive also...

My setup lives in a box for 23 months.
