I've got some questions about this that I've always wondered because I have the same one..... 1. Isn't that opening on the side bad and can let hot air from the engine compartment in or is it minimal and not really matter? 2. Does anyone recommend anything to cover the hole? 3. How can I tell it's actually doing it's job and not just sucking in hot air? 4. Does anyone know if it's actually a good seal when the hood is closed? I can never tell. I can't tell if there's a gap between the underneath of the hood to the top of the air box. 4. Is there a way to better insulate everything? Like some sort of thermal insulation tape around the pipe or adding some of that reflective thermal stuff to the outside of the box or the inside? Or maybe spraying some thermal paint or something? I'm a complete noob.

I was thinking about doing the same thing to my 17 2.0 putting in the AME cold air intake. But after checking online with the Malibu fourm I found out that GM has a small OEM catch can somewhere between the stock air box or air tube, by removing them you are also removing the small stock OEM catch can.

@meesterteester
2 жыл бұрын
There is a small box attached to the front of the original intake tube where it mounts to the intake side of the turbo. This is what the PCV valve attaches to. Chevrolet doesn't alert you to this but it should be cleaned out at least once a year. The AME cold air intake deletes that catch can so yes, you definitely needed to add an aftermarket catch can at the least, unless you want oil and water being reintroduced into the intake.
