I don't know why I still look for s2k's - its just a daily ritual. But this one looked a little strange under the hood. I can't think of any reason to have an air filter setup like that....but maybe this guy knows something I don't. Any thoughts?

I've never seen an intake like that before.

1) Air intake looks ghetto.
2) Steering wheel got caught in a lawnmower.
3) The drivers headlight is leaking somewhere.

Well the driver side headlight has moisture inside of it and it has an AP1 rear bumper with a mangled exhaust tip.....haha at that intake. That intake is one of those Spectre brand piece-together intakes. I have seen them before.....they are plastic.

Maybe he tried to eliminate the heat soak by adding another filter a little further away from the engine compartment? Should've at least fabricated a cover(or should I say...covers)of some type...That secondary filter is way dirtier than the filter in the oem position.
