Intake "hole"

[MikeW]

Im about to just cleartape a piece of Alum Foil to it, I really am.

Just tape it up. Lay a couple pieces over it. If you lived close enough, I've got a roll of aluminum tape somwhere, I'd give you a piece! lol You're not going to suck the tape off of it or hurt anything, you just need to close that hole up.

I was thinking about buying a roll of aluminum tape, but really have no other use for it, aside from the 6x8" piece i need

I think Ill just tape it with clear/duct tape for now and look for pipes in a JY.

Aluminum won't keep heat out...it is a good conductor of heat, and thus transfers it easily and quickly both ways, hence why it is used in engines, radiators, and heat exchangers.

I use packaging tape mine does the same when it rubs on the abs. Packaging and now its gone ta da.

thats EXACTLY how my AEM intake almost got a hole wore into it, b/c I broke the rubber grommet thingy that's supposed to keep it in position and everytime my engine moved, it rubbed it against that i'm thinking. I would say try putting duct tape over the reservoir or grind it down a bit so it's not as jagged against the intake.

True, but I think he's more concerned with sucking debris in through that hole. I don't see a hole that size making a significant difference in the temperature of the air in his plastic intake tube. Not being argumentative, just saying... lol

Ill look into filing down what i can, but i dont think i can get rid of too much.

As for the pipe, i just used packing tape, like Nelson said. As long as it closes the hole.
