Here is a picture of my intake. The area in front of the throttle plate seems to be dry. You can see the area behind the throttle plate is black.
I did not want to push the throttle plate all the way open because when I did that on a Saturn ION, something happened to the ECU map! Maybe it's not related at all, but after doing that, it had a really high idle and very poor gas mileage. When I took it into the shop, they said the ECU was in some sort of default with essentially no map. They programmed the ECU back to the factory map and all was good again, except for the $125 bill.
