i just installed an Injen cai on my 07 G35. While installing i noticed that if i did not put the styrofoam back on the driver side where the cai is the filter would be totally exposed to the outside air. the instructions informed to cover it up with the styrofoam cause it would induce turbulence. can anyone explane more on this? i have seen people leave there exposed. it makes more sense that way. the way i have it right now has it kinda confined.

 

can you take a picture of this styrofoam peice. not sure what you are refering to

 

that black thing in the red circle can be removed exposing the intake filter.

something like that but with more of the filter is showing

 

funny i just installed mine a few days ago.

i put the styrofoam back though as they said.

 

i just dont understand how too much air could be a bad thing?

 

i think i remember reading if you dont put it back, it might make your car prone to stall??

 

my intake is fully exposed to open air, only problem i come in contact with is hydrolocking on a heavy downpour. youre fine.

 

yea that's what the instructions say, that if there's too much air the turbluence will cause the engine to stall. that'd be fun at WOT wouldn't it?
