Default 4.0 Owners check the accordion coupler it may be cracked

The plastic accordion boot that connects the airbox to the snout had apparently fallen apart some time ago, and I had no idea until I decided to replace my air filter. I stopped by Mina gallery and Chris was able to fit a couple of rubber sleeves together and make te damn thing functional again. I searched all over the place and replacements are NLA. I hope he’s able to make a single piece for me soon since at the moment its a 3 piece part. Anyway check your accordion couplers yall! If theyre cracked or missing the bottom portion, you’re not getting fresh air into the intake.


You cant tell from looking at it from above

Sturdy and actually getting fresh air
