OE air intake pipe sucks air!

[Colderweather86]

I'm currently ripping everything apart to install the RX-41 Turbo. I found strong evidence of dust ingestion on the suction side pipe from the air filter to the turbo inlet. Looks like it was coming from the connection on the backside of the airbox.

I'm sending these pictures to the warranty guy with MANA I was dealing with a couple weeks ago.

That's something I better check.

I just checked mine and it looks about the same as yours. I cleaned it out, applied a little silicone brake grease, and re-installed the duct making sure the clamps were good and tight. Thanks for the alert.
