OK I have 2 questions:

Check out the cracks in the stock intake... how does this happen?

AND

Does anyone have a stock intake pipe they're looking to get rid of? I can pay for shipping? If not, lemme know how much u tryna get for it.

Need it shipped to San Diego

thanks

 

What'd you do? since it's an 05' take it to the dealer and make them replace it under warranty.

He's still going to need it when he buys his Mugen Intake

 

would definitely stop driving because you don't want any debri getting in. take it to the dealer asap

Put some tape over the tube and drive to the dealer. As long as the car is stock you won't have a problem.

But, my guess is that it has been modded somehow. Spill the beans...

 

nope...car has always been stock.. beats me how the heck it happened..

but anyways... so now i need a new one and im keeping it stock...

no one here has a stock pipe laying around in the garage?

 

ya that car was like that not chopped lol.

to the ts, see if the dealer will replace it or you could upgrade to the samco?

Again...Take it to the dealer. Why do you want to fix something yourself when the car is under warranty still? There may be other problems too...why risk it?

Yeah, that was my initial thought.

I've seen abused 88 Civics with 250K miles and worn motormounts and that rubber intake tube wasn't cracked.

 

it has happened to me before, luckily my buddy had another one so he just gave it to me. mine was because it was hanging, and had weight on it.

Right,but the OP claims the car is stock and always has been. That's why we question the story and also why he seems to be avoiding the dealer

 

No, the car is all stock and still under warranty so that's where it's going today. Not that I was avoiding the dealer, juss figured one of you guys might know what could have happened cuz I sure don't. And with all ur mods, one of you would at least have a stock intake lying around but that doesn't seem to be the case so its all good. The car isn't raced or abused and is purely stock so we'll see wut story the techs at the dealer can come up with.

Thanks anyways and I could understand if this was an ongoing thread that lasted a few days or weeks that you would be able to conclude I was avoiding the dealer and not coming clean about the situation. But it hasn't been a full day yet and since dealers are closed on Sundays I figure I'd be able to get better answers from here. But anyways, thanks for the responses and have fun conjuring up stories to relate this to racing and car abuse =P

 

1) Look at your hoses, your tab alignments, etc...someone has had that intake off. They just don't tear by themselves in a stock place with such a new car.

2) We question you because why would someone want to pay for an OEM part when they could go back to the dealer and get it replaced for free.

 

The cuts also seem straight through and unlike a tear. :\

 

well that looks like dryrot crack to me. if u take it to the dealership they should fix it for free it u are stii in warrenty

 

dry rot? It's not wood it's plastic, plastic doesn't dry rot. Plastic becomes brittle over time but being an 05 rsx that's a bit odd.

 

doesn't samco make a replacement for the dc5

 

you running the **** out of it i bet.

 

Todd is right. Someone messed with the intake. Look, one of the bolts for the air box is missing, the tube isn't aligned correctly, someone must've took the intake off or took the lid off to replace the filter and did a half *** job putting things back together.

 

never seen that happen before... since its a 05 you might still have warranty and im sure i should be covered!!
