Hmmm, seems that last little hose could've used a small extension, like it's under some tension... Or maybe it could be rerouted slightly from what it's coupled with on the other end. Maybe not at all just looks that way to me from the viewing angle.
Without sealing that filter box off completely, what stops it from sucking in warm engine air too? Seems fruitless. Too bad s&b didnt make one for this motor ill go buy the afe.
