dirt....


....j/k...just part of the design of the tube, it's hollow. I assume it's for sound deadening, sort of a muffler effect.

hollow? man that looks like some air turbulence to me. But how do I clean the damn engine bay? its not like I can spray it down...

Thats why you are here to correct me, if he would have starting hacking stuff off I'd be the one to have to go pick him up on the Pontchartrain Causeway at 2am.

Wait, im not entirely correct lol, If he wanted to remove the intake he could if he bought the sylicone elbow like someone on the other thread suggested
