This can be helping

my car has a ram air hood and air box on it and the way the box has to sit under the hood just doesn't look good to me, here is some pics of what i'm talking about

is this hurting my performance? it can't be helping i wouldn't think, how would i fix it?

lots of people upgrade to SLP's smooth bellows or buy fernco tubing at Home Depot. You could also try trimming that tubing back so that it doesn't do so much of that accordion lookin shit.

I have never seen a bellows compressed to that degree. Is that a stock modified air box? I am sure you are aware of the filter in need of cleaning/replaced.

the box came on the car when i got it so i think it came with the hood, yes i know i need a new filter, it looks like the last owner used pressure washer on it

should get a paper filter..or k&n if your into attracting dirt..but overall..its a nice setup with that hood...just needs a lil cleaning here n there....don't think its hurting anything unless airleaks are exposed...then debree can enter through the holes..
