Default Air Cleaner

With less than 900 miles on the car, its no where near ready for a new air filter, thus I haven’t messed with the system.

Out of curiosity, for those who have taken the factory air filter out, where does the engine draw its air from? Don

I believe it is through the front grill from what I understand. If I am wrong, someone will surely correct me.

Glen is right . When I installed my Halltech CAI I was very impressed to see how they engineered the stock system. Technically I think it is a Cold Air Intake as it sucks in the air through a hole between the engine compartment and the radiator bay and is pretty effectively sealed. Just fyi
