you know all of that missing material went right through your motor? Is that a homemade intake filter? Sure is not OEM!

lol i think you'd be better off running no filter then keeping that thing in there, would suck if a piece got stuck in your TB or something...

looks like a vacum cleaner filter or something lol

Dude. Go spend $15 @ Checker and put a paper filter in there at least. Get that out of there. And not to sound like a ****, but don't you check that sheat when you change your oil?
