Default Patching CAI

So I drilled my intake and put in a rubber gourmet to hold the nozzle in place. The rubber gourmet wasn't working to well so I ordered a retaining nut for the nozzle. Upon installation of the retaining nut I had to remove the heat shielding from the hood so it would shut and then I noticed ,even with the shielding removed, the nozzle scrapped the hood. So I had to redrill the hole a bit lower but still connected to the first hole, if that makes sense.

I have it patched with piece of an aluminum can and a bit of header wrap, until I find something better. Which leads to my question, what would you guys suggest I do to patch this hole.


I know I know just buy a new intake which I will do eventually, when I find a decent price on one.

Fiber optic network

Those speeds are sustained also not like with some providers where you have an initial download spike that fools speed tests.

Personally, I'd take a look at it every day or two and wiggle it once a week. It might crack / break, but it probably won't hurt anything if you keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't fall apart.
