GOOD aftermarket intakes keep those fins.

What I removed from inside the intake box looks more like support and sound deadening. Most of what is inside the air box isn't "finned" to let air through. |
What I thought was interesting in the airbox hat is the piece of sound deadening material that looks like it was added last minute/as a later finding after the hat tooling may have already been produced. Im stuck wondering if the material was added for NVH purposes or to cheaply cover over some of the vanes to smooth out airflow into the MAF inlet...
