I'd say it used to be a cold air intake until the owner realized how wet the filter was getting.

Don't spray the tire shine on any rubber hoses or it will ruin them after time

well our local DIY car wash has a setup that u use for engine bays so i dont think it'll hurt...the setting for the pressure isnt that high either so we didnt worry about it much...

really? The tire foam could deterrate(sp) hoses?! Damn, thats not good cuz i've already done it... what would you guys recommend to get the same shine then insted of tire foam?

if you are real careful take a flat file(fine) and slide it across the raised letters to clean them up and make em silver again i actually use wd-40 on mine and it does the trick but yours came out looking good..i think your buddy needs to get some vht crinkle paint and re-do his
