Hey guys
So I installed the PRL stage 1 intake a few weeks ago and everything seemed fine. No issues. I recently brought my car into Honda for the valve cover gasket replacement (I had a leaking valve cover gasket). Immediately on my ride home from the dealership I noticed a weird smell from the engine bay. Nothing extreme; just different. When I got home the car definitely had a "burning rubber" smell. I checked all hoses and the only thing I noticed was one of the hoses going into the PRL silicone intake tube seemed to be rubbing on the under surface of the hood. There's a black mark on the hood and the rubber hose is wearing down. The hose does smell like "burning rubber".
Any suggestions for making more clearance? Should I cut a few inches from the hose to shorten it? Rotating the intake tube?
I don't think Honda needed to remove the intake tube to do the valve cover gasket so I don't know what changed since the service.
Thoughts?
