This is on my other car. Picture below for reference, the hole is between the flexible part above the positive battery terminal in the picture.
For now I just wrapped the intake with gaffer tape. Don't know how long it has been like that could be for about a year. It blends in there noticed it by chance today changing transmission fluid.
How bad could that be for the engine, sucking in dirty air and potentially water?
It's kind of dry rotted and wondering if I should replace it with an OEM piece or delete the whole airbox assembly and get an ebay "short ram" (hot air) intake.
